A stunning image has captured a blue supermoon through one of Suffolk's most famous landmarks.

Christopher Rodgers photographed the moon as it came up behind the Family of Man sculpture in Snape Maltings.

Barbara Hepworth's sculpture has stood at the site since 1976 when it was installed for the Aldeburgh Festival, the last event for founder Benjamin Britten.

The artist created nine distinct figures to represent the different stages of life.

Of those nine, Parent I, Ancestor I and Ancestor, II stand tall in Snape Maltings.

She is renowned for creating some of the earliest abstract sculptures produced in England.

Those hoping to see in the blue supermoon were hoping for good weather on Monday night. 

What is a supermoon?

Supermoons are a combination of a lunar perigee, when the moon is closest to the Earth, and a full moon.

They can appear about 7pc bigger and 15pc brighter and take on a reddish hue due to the summer haze.
