THE recent Pink Moon has been captured in a beautiful photograph as it set over Stonehenge in the morning.

The full Moon, named after the blooming flowers provided by the Spring weather, is a yearly occurrence in early April.

This stunning photo shows the giant ball of rock as it disappears seemingly into the large arrangement of ancient stones in the Wiltshire countryside.

The picture was taken by Nick Bull, better known online as Stonehenge Dronescapes, who rose early on Thursday, April 6 to marvel at the natural beauty.Salisbury Journal:

The photo also shows the silhouette of a bird darting in the sky, and a number of sheep resting on the land surrounding the ancient wonder of the world as the morning sunlight casts a golden glow.

A truly magnificent sight.

Other names for the Pink Moon include the budding moon, flower moon and moon of the big leaves.

This was also the first full Moon of the Spring, otherwise known as the Paschal Full Moon.

This holds particular religious significance, as Easter Sunday always falls on the Sunday following the first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox.
