North Pole Moon at Sunset
I think this is trick photography to enlarge the apparent size of the Moon. What do you think?

I think there may have been a little Photoshop involved. You could get a moon that large in comparison to the landscape by using a long telephoto lens, but if you look at the rest of the picture, it seems to have definite wide-angle characteristics. I think they pasted it in there.

Also if it were an authentic zoom photo the size of the sun would be much closer to being equal to size of the moon.

A bigger version might reveal much foolery...

Ok, I get it now

I don't even think that's a photo, it looks like a 3D render.

The moon or the sun only look that large when they are close to the horizon.
