Did you see last night's stunning Strawberry Moon?
People across the UK were treated to a spectacular sight as June's full moon appeared.
While it was at its brightest in the early hours of Sunday morning, it was still an impressive spectacle on Saturday night, as shown in the above photo.
As the moon beamed over Bridport, photographer Doug Chalk captured a special shot of an illuminated Colmers Hill.
What is a Strawberry Moon?
The Strawberry Moon is significant as it marks the changing season and is the first full moon of June.
The term came from Native American culture which used the phrase to define the time of year strawberries are harvested.
It's also called the Honey Moon, Rose Moon and Mead Moon.
If you missed last night's Strawberry Moon, July will welcome the Buck Moon.
This is the time when a buck, a male deer, grows its full antlers. This moon is also called Thunder Moon after the summer thunder storms.
