On this day in History, Ansel Adams took one of his more famous images, “Moonrise”. According to Wikipedia, this image was taken in 1941.

“American photographer Ansel Adams takes a picture of a moonrise over the town of Hernandez, New Mexico that would become one of the most famous images in the history of photography. “

I thought this was an appropriate image for Halloween, as it was one of Ansel Adams darker photographs and captures the mood usually associated with Halloween.
