I decided to pick up a small pizza for dinner so after calling I went to pick it up. I pulled into the parking lot, got out of the car, facing west, and was absolutely in awe of the beauty I saw when looking up, one of the thinnest crescent moons and the planet Venus blazing in the sky. What a surprise! What a joy! I was there at the absolutely perfect time. From our driveway, this scene would have been blocked by our house which blocks out most of the sky to the west. I loved the delicacy of the trees which matched the delicacy of the thin crescent moon. This is a wide view, rather than a closer view which I could have taken, but this is more like what I saw.
When I got home, it was a bit darker and so I could see the dark side of the moon illuminagted by "Earthshine" which is light from the Sun reflected off earth and toward the moon! For this view, I composed the scene as a tighter view so you can see more detail. I wondered about the old battered TV antenna, but thought that is had more interest than just the silhouette of trees. Which one is your facorite?
Even though the antenna is in the photo, I like the second one better. I like the brighter and more detailed image of the moon and Venus and the cloud as well. A beautiful sight. Trace
ReplyDeleteI like the first one because of the simplicity. Betsey
ReplyDeleteSo hard to decide. The second photo show more detail in the moon, but I think I like the first one. How tall is your antenna? Looks so tall. I am not used to seeing antennas on homes anymore. Joan
ReplyDeleteI also like the first one ….calming and simple.
