Venus Transit of the Sun

Venus and the Sun

I caught about a 30 second window to catch this shot as I was driving to the ball park to see my grandsons play baseball. The sun was setting and showed itself at the horizon just between the clouds. I was able to hurry into position and snap off 4 photos before the clouds took over and the sun sank. I wasn't sure I had got it until I came home and carefully studied the pictures.
