the sky tonight!

It was a tremendously humid day.

We've had record-breaking temperatures here in the NE of PA.

then.... AHHHHHH!

A beautiful sunset, with everchanging patterns and color combinations,
ending with purple accents on bluish-turning grey clouds.

Then the moon, almost full,
peeks out from behind the clouds.
hanging low in the sky.

  

good night moon!

GOOD NIGHT ALL! Sleep well.

VENUS and MOON

LAST NIGHT WE COULD SEE VENUS!

venus and the crescent moon low in the sky

closer view - interesting venus

A friend posted a link about the planet, Venus, in the night sky, 

last evening, June 19, 2015,

So after reading this link:

venus planet info 

I went to my window looking west. 

(the same window from which I take many of my MOUNTAIN photos.)

The crescent moon was low, just above the mountain ridge, 

and the bright orb above it - eureka!!

VENUS!  

:-)

I'm in Plains, PA, next to Wilkes-Barre, looking west across the Susquehanna river, 

towards Dallas Twp, "the Back Mountain"... and all points West.

full moon overhead & interesting clouds

the last moon was spectacular... here's a few shots that evening.

The first one looks like an eyeball, doesn't it?

 The clouds were moving pretty quickly...

 ... and changing shape...

...growing.  

COOL!
