Northerly moonrise

The moon had been up a half hour or more when I took this picture just

after sunset today. Today being the northern hemisphere's winter solstice,

the sunset was pretty well the most southerly sunset. The Full Moon is

actually a day or two away but, as a result of being nearly full, the moon

was nearly opposite the sun, so it rose pretty close to its most northerly

point. I didn't have a compass with me, but looking at the map, I'd say

the moon rose just north of NE.
