If you look closely you can see a pair of hobbits climbing up the left flank of the mountain.

Can someone say how rare of an alignment this would be? Once a year? Once every few months?

That’s pretty cool, but it has everything to do with where he placed the camera and lens. Not so much to do with the moon or the mountain. Great composition though. A+++

He had to time the exposure just right because the Earth turns and the Moon rises.......................

True enough. And he had to get good weather, and the right time of season when the earth reflects light back to the moon. It’s a cool shot. Thanks for posting it.

[...] and the right time of season when the earth reflects light back to the moon.No, has nothing to do with "seasons."
During the first one or two days of the lunar cycle, when the Moon is a very thin crescent, this phenomenon (called Earthshine) will always be visible (unless obscured by clouds).

sorry... i call it fake. no matter the amount of atmospheric refraction, the moon is never that big. and the earth reflection is not enough to get the dark side of the moon that illuminated. the amount of fake pictures out of NASA, its no wonder they show attention to this...

You get a large moon by taking a picture from very far away and using a powerful telephoto lens. The further you get from the subject (mountain and church), the smaller they will appear relative to the moon.
I am not seeing why this image would have to be faked.

Just look at those people! They are nearly as tall as the Washington Monument!
Just look at this poor man! His right hand is bigger than his entire head!
Gotta be photoshopped, ri-ight?
