Here we are at the mid-point of the year, the summer solstice. The seasons fly by these days! I love these light nights, and always mourn when we start the downward path to darkness again.
A couple of nights ago, at 10.30 pm, in the throes of England's first World Cup match (!), I got up to draw the curtains and I noticed the thinnest crescent moon - a waxing crescent - and the brightly shining Venus in very close conjunction. I found this rather thrilling! The match was rather thrilling too, it has to be said: England 4, Croatia 2. A good start to our campaign.
Congrats to England's team! World Cup Soccer (football) is something I have enjoyed for many years, with at least one son who follows the English games throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteLove the moon shot.
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely gorgeous picture!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies!
ReplyDeleteOn Saturday, O.K. and I went for a night walk on the fields. The sky was so beautiful but I only took one picture, knowing I would not manage to capture the moon and venus the same way as we saw them with our eyes.
