Moon And Venus

Sunday Evening, Venus and the Moon shared what astronomers call a "conjunction" when two celestial objects appear  near each other when viewed from Earth.  The Venus-moon sight occurred about 45 minutes after sunset in what was their closest encounter of the northern summer, fall or winter of 2013.

I was lucky enough to capture this event and also get an added bonus.  I was not planning to have an aircraft fly through the scene.  Used the 300mm lens.  (September 2013)
