Living in a neighborhood full of old, tall trees, it takes getting out of the neighborhood to have a clear horizon. White Rock Lake is a favorite destination so I picked a spot on the west shore from which to shoot this beautiful conjunction between the crescent moon, brilliant Venus above with Saturn and Mars between the two. I think the reflection of the moon and reeds in the foreground made for a more interesting image.
Read more about the conjunction and see photos of it from around the world at EarthSky.org.
