Peeking Moon       #3235296 - 07/23/09 11:01 PM Attachment (39 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I was able to spot a thin Waxing Crescent Moon (2.2 days old) over the western horizon (~6 degrees). The Crescent moon was beautiful as it was partially obscured by lavender-grey clouds. I hope that you all like it. A digital image produced in Photoshop CS3.

Realistic colors! Timely that I see this now as the sky here is clear and the sun just set. You have inspired me to go out and maybe sketch.
