Aucklanders heading into work in the early hours of this morning were treated to a spectacular sight - the last supermoon of the year.
Photographs show the supermoon in all its wonder - appearing bright while the sky was still dark over Auckland about 7am.
Pictures of it over Ponsonby about that time show it with a creamy and sometimes bright yellow glow; while it appeared duller over the Auckland skyline by the time the sun had risen.
