We all had to wake up at 5AM this morning in order to get to the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor in time to get tickets. Liz phoned at 5:30 as we were about to leave and said "You HAVE to come by and see the sight out of our window!" We did and this is what we saw - A thin crescent moon and the planet Venus, against the background of Diamond Head, the remains of a volcano just south of Waikiki Beach where we are staying. It was a spectacular sight! Please click on the image to see it in more detail.
Nice photo, Ken. Below Venus is Regulus. Not sure how much detail you can see near the base of the mountain, but below Regulus should be Mars and Mercury. I am envious of your clear sky. We tried to get this photo in NY, but fog and some clouds were in the way Sun morning. Just plain clouds this morning.
ReplyDeleteGood work waking up at 5am!-- Stan
Stunning photo. Not a normal waking hour for you, but happy you woke early to schedule your trip.
