OAKLAND, CA — Danny Austin captured this photo last Friday morning of the Wolf Moon setting in the west. Clouds obscure the view toward Mt. Tamalpais but are beautiful in their own right.

According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, "Native Americans and Colonial Americans named this Moon because it appeared when wolves were howling at night outside their villages."

The photo above is cropped because of the Patch content system, but take a look at the uncropped. The cityscape gives the photo a whole different feeling:
