The Moon and Venus

This a very poor representation of a spectacular sight that I saw tonight. It is the crescent moon and Venus blazing in the western sky. It seems impossible to show the grandeur and scale and beauty of this in a mere photograph. You need to see this with your own eyes. It would have been better if I could have shot it earlier in the evening, when the sky was deep blue, but I was in a class and not out shooting. This last month has been spectacular with the dance of Venus and Jupiter in the western sky after sunset , and then to have the Moon added to the collection was the crowning glory. Tomorrow night the Moon will be further away from Venus, and not as spectacular. I wish you all could have seen it tonight.
