Aircraft passes in front of a Supermoon rising over the Rideau Canal in Ottawa
Aircraft passes in front of a Supermoon rising over the Rideau Canal in Ottawa July 12, 2014. Occurring when a full moon or new moon coincides with the closest approach the moon makes to the Earth, the Supermoon results in a larger-than-usual appearance of the lunar disk.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, an aircraft gracefully glides in front of a resplendent Supermoon rising above the picturesque Rideau Canal in Ottawa. Taken on July 12,2014, this celestial phenomenon occurs when the moon's closest approach to Earth coincides with a full or new moon, resulting in a larger and more enchanting lunar disk. The image showcases a serene night scene adorned with various elements that add depth and beauty to the composition. A fence runs alongside the canal, while shrubs and street lamps dot the landscape below. The deep blue sky acts as a perfect backdrop for both the luminous moon and passing clouds. Although people are present within this public park setting, they remain unrecognizable figures standing together near an out-of-focus pavement. This creative use of lighting highlights their presence without detracting from the main focus of the photograph. The aircraft itself takes center stage as it elegantly cuts through space, its wings majestically framing the Supermoon behind it. Its rear view emphasizes its flight into infinity against an atmospheric backdrop. Blair Gable's skillful capture not only immortalizes this extraordinary celestial event but also invites viewers to appreciate nature's grandeur juxtaposed against human-made marvels. It serves as a reminder of our place within this vast universe and evokes feelings of wonderment at such breathtaking sights that occur beyond our control yet still manage to captivate us all.
