Encinitas View Finder: Moonset Over the Sea

Every week Encinitas Patch shares a photo or video shot by someone in our community.

This week’s featured photo might look like a sunset at first glance, but that’s actually the moon setting over the horizon—something that only happens once a year, typically with the first full moon in January. You can thank Encinitas resident Bob Chase for waking up early enough to capture this photo on Jan. 2.
