The moon and venus

We headed out of the city last night to star gaze. A welcome relief to get to some cooler temperatures, especially after sitting in our car, which has broken AC, in traffic for quite a while. It was amazing to watch the temperature fall from 95F (35C) in the city to 78F (25C) at Stub Stewart. We both watched as the thermometer was dropping as we climbed up into the foothills of the coast range. Then, as the sun was setting, we saw the glorious site of the sliver crescent moon and venus over the mountains. It was beautiful. There are a few more photos on Flickr.

A sliver of crescent moon shows in a sky that is a very dark blue with orange at the bottom along the dark outline of the a ridge of hills. A lone top of a pine tree is on the right and to the right of the moon you can see a bright spot which is venus.
