Snowy Ranch Under the Moonlight

Truly superb, +Jeff Sullivan. It's so bright I thought it was a daylight shot!

Amazing +Jeff Sullivan , I like how the moon is right there in the perfect spot to give those dramatic shadows!

Very nice. Beautiful

Superb shot.

Yes, the moon is reflecting the light of the sun +ali Liu, and that light scatters to make the sky blue at night, just like direct sunlight does.  Most people assume that the night sky is black and that our eyes aren't sensitive enough to see color.  I suspect that most people think that because they rarely look at the night sky except just after they've stepped out of a building or car.  When you're out long enough for your eyes to get used to the dark, and there isn't a lot of light pollution around, you can see the blue in the sky with as little as a 25% crescent moon.  

I've seen all of the colors of the rainbow at night.  Last Spring on the G+/Panoramio Yosemite Photowalk we took photographs of lunar rainbows or "moonbows", created at night by the light of the full moon, in the spray at the base of Yosemite Falls.  Usually you can only see the contrast of the rainbows and you perceive them as black and white, but it was a bright "super moon" night, and the colors were just bright enough that my eyes would switch the rainbow from black and white to color as the mist moved and made the rainbow stronger and weaker.
