The sun and the moon faced off today.

I went for an evening bike ride today and I saw something I have never seen before. I probably haven't because I never looked for it, but today for some strange reason I did. I came around a corner and saw an Explorer stopped on the side of the road. As I passed I looked at the driver and noticed she was taking a picture. I had already noticed how beautiful and red the sunset was, a very autumn sunset. So I looked at it again while I was in a bit of a valley. I caught it between the trees and the sun was just over the mountains, a big, red fireball. For some reason, I got the idea to look 180 degrees away from the sun. Through the trees and just above the hills on that side I saw an almost full moon staring the sun down. I have never seen such timing with the moon directly across from the sun. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera, but if I get the chance to see the same thing tomorrow I'll make sure I can take a picture. Obviously, I won't be able to get the sun and the moon in the same frame but knowing that I took two pictures, one of the sun and one of the moon, by just turning 180 degrees is pretty cool. Definitely an evening ride to remember.
