When we used to live in Alaska we saw some pretty amazing moon rises come up over the mountains. Here in Miami it is pretty amazing as well. We have a spectacular view off our balcony. There is actually something going on right now where the view of the moon is larger than normal I will include a link below that you can read all about it on the NASA website.
