I took this photo of the Manhattan skyline from Hoboken (NJ). I was walking on the boardwalk on my way to the train station in order to join friends in the City. It was cold, very cold. Despite that, when I saw the full moon and its light piercing through the clouds, the patch of clouds in the sky, the reflection of the moonlight and city lights on the Hudson river I was blown away by the beauty of it. I needed to immortalize this scene. I took off my gloves and immediately snapped a picture. I remember i struggled getting a clear enough picture due to the low light, and my hands shaking because of the blistering cold and wind. After a dozen attempts I was able to get this shot
