I give you this much; it’s a beautiful shot. But there’s nothing remotely moon-like about that landscape.

ABSOLUTELY everything that looks great there is the by-product of either weather or water based erosion. The moon does not and has not ever had either of those.

You could have said Mars-like or Martian and it would have been fine. Or even alien landscape. Other-worldly. Non terrestrial. Extraterrestrial. Unearthly. Sci Fi landscape.

I know it’s a bit anal to point out, but you had so many other options…and you picked the most ill fitting one…

Anyway…nice picture…

Well, according to the name of the viewpoint (moon overlook) and the color of the rocks / sand, especially at dusk or dawn, I though it‘d fit quite well. But I get your point.

The viewpoint itself is called moon overlook?! Then the discrepancy is less with you and more with those who named the viewpoint.

I rescind my critique. Still don’t like the comparison; but I’ll probably get over it, at some point in the distant future. /s

I’ll say again though (as it bears repeating); beautiful picture.

It is definitely a otherworldly landscape, just a different "other world."

Nobody actually knew what the surface of the moon looked like before the 60s, and it wouldn't surprise me if the viewpoint was named before then.
