This is taken with my back to Beachy Head looking towards Belle Tout Lighthouse and Birling Gap in Eastbourne, East Sussex. I went out to take photos of the sunrise, got there a bit early and got this shot of the (almost) full moon first! Taken on a Canon EOS400 DSLR camera with the Canon 18-55mm kit lens.
