Morning Moon

I woke to a red sky and went downstairs for a cup of tea. Then I saw the moon setting behind next doors extension.

You can just see a little bar of misty cloud floating across the moon which looks tiny but almost close enough to touch. The red sky in the morning might be foretelling poor weather today, (this blog is getting very weather related). The bright reds soon started to fade, now the Sun is rising on the opposite horizon. Good morning all

Setting moon….

From my (short) perspective, he moon was already set, but my hubby, who is a lot taller could still see it. So I held my phone up high, took it off auto onto manual, so it wasn’t overexposed, and took a few snaps. This was the best of the bunch.

Moon set. You can tell the sun is north west of it because of the sunlight light reflected on the moons surface.

Some bright stars in the sky tonight. Mercury and Venus have already set. One bright star overhead but can’t identify it. I had a quick look at what’s visible in tonight’s sky, but I think most of the other planets are rising in the morning.

Moon behind tree

At least that’s what this is based on. The moon was setting behind the hill above our kitchen window. I could not see it as I’m too short. My hubby got me a stool to stand on so I could see the moon and the tree. I took a fuzzy photo, the quality of it was poor even though I tried to zoom in on the subject, the branches of the tree have a white glow around them but you can’t see the face of the moon.

So, a bit disappointed, but then I decided to play with the image. I ended up with this mozaic of images, including the wall and roof of the neighbours house…..
