As the full or perigee moon, also known as a "supermoon" begins its descent over the Pacific Ocean, a group of birds finds solace on the roller coaster track. The scene is nothing short of magical – with the moon casting a soft glow upon the pier and illuminating every detail in its path. The supermoon's presence adds an extra touch of brilliance to an already breathtaking sight. This particular supermoon holds special significance as it was not only the largest but also closest full moon of that year. NASA confirms that it appeared 14 percent closer and 30 percent brighter than other full moons throughout that period. As we gaze at this image, we can't help but marvel at nature's wonders and how effortlessly they blend with man-made structures like roller coasters.

Robyn Beck's skillful capture allows us to witness this extraordinary moment frozen in time – where serenity meets thrill, where natural beauty embraces human ingenuity.

Let this photograph serve as a testament to the awe-inspiring power of nature and remind us all to pause occasionally, look up at the sky, and
