The Steeple and the Crescent Moon


This was the third and last night of the conjunction of the Moon and Venus.  I say "it's over" because the Moon was 9 degrees from Venus tonight, and will be an additional 15 degrees away tomorrow.  I have wanted to photograph the moon and this church steeple in Glenwood Landing.  But the time has to be just right, and it still hasn't been.  But I liked this shot of just part of the steeple and the photograph has what I think is an eerie feel to it.  It is a bright white church, by the way, even though the paint is a bit dirty so by exposing for the Moon, the white goes into shadow and I am left with this very dark gray.
