THE astonishing sight of a beautiful supermoon rising over the horizon captured the imagination of our camera club.
The full moon appeared bigger than normal and sometimes slightly orange as it lit skies around the globe.
Here are some incredible pictures of the phenomenon captured across Colcheser and Tendring:
It reached its full stage on Tuesday during a phenomenon known as a supermoon because of its proximity to Earth.
It is also referred to as the Strawberry Moon because it is the full moon at strawberry harvest time.
