A photographer has captured the so-called "Cold Moon" over Stonehenge.

Josh Dury shot what was also the northern major lunar standstill at the Wiltshire monument on Sunday (Dec. 15).

He says his composite is a blend of six images to show the Moon's path.

A lunar standstill is when the Moon reaches its furthest north or furthest south point during the course of a month.

The cold moon is so named as it occurs closer to the winter solstice, giving long and cold winter nights.
