I took these pictures the weekend before last when we had a full moon. Each time I took a picture the colours of the sky and the lake seemed to get more and more intense until it seemed as though the image was more like a slightly 'over the top' painting than an actual photograph.
It is rare to see such colour reflected from the sunset and I was lucky to be looking out of my apartment window at just the right time.

Fabulous shots. How wonderful to have this view from your window!
I love the pink, lavender, and blue colors of your sky! And the full moon was a good "cherry" to top it up.
My Sky Watch pictures are posted here and here. Please have a look if you have time. Thanks a lot!
Yepp ... So gorgeous indeed. Love them

They are simply elegant.

The way of fortune is like the milkyway in the sky.... Great capture for skywatch! Mine's up too hope you can drop by, asking for your vote too..Happy weekend!
lovely shades!
LOVE THESE PHOTOS!!! You are right about the colors. They are incredible, and so intense that they really don't look real at all. Excellent series; thanks for sharing!
Wow! A fantastic shot! A close friend of mine is fascinated by the moon, and we have shared many moonrises together -- particularly the full moon. Thanks for posting. Hope you will stop by quite different, stark contribution to SkyWatch.
The sky behind your lovely moon is just like being back in art class again and shading in watercolour from blue to lilac.
Very nice!
Wow purples, blues that is very intense and perfect with that full moon.
I did a series of moon rise photos recently but they weren't anything as beautiful as yours. The gradiations of colors is absolutely sublime. This is up in my top ten for this week.
So totally cool - Great capture, great sequence, excellent share! Thanks
Beautiful post!
Lovely Moon!
