There are certain landscape elements that are spectacular.  The rising moon is always impressive, regardless of the location.  However, watching it rise over the hill, half hidden by towering Norway Spruce and oak in late November touches on certain cultural tropes.  How many dramatic scenes involve a great, blue-white moon behind black trees in the hills, perhaps with a few high and cold clouds? Almost too many.  It may be culturally over-used, but in reality it still makes one stop and look!
