Venus and the Moon

I'm addicted to the night!! I had to say goodbye to the MIlky Way until the spring but the moon, Venus and Jupiter kept me company on this special night. I know the moon looks more like a star in this photo but that is because even though it's just a cresent it is still so much brighter than the sky. I could have taken some darker exposures to capture detail in the moon but I would have lost the stars. Photo © copyright by Patrick Zephyr.
