Moonlight Prevails (12-04-05)

One hour after sunset

4:46pm - Sunset
5:52pm - Moonlight prevails (15 seconds)

It was a wonderfully quiet night and fairly warm in the still air.

Obviously this would look best against a black background.
In the morning, the black-framed version appeared in my email, framed by friend Sherry:

This is really outstanding!!! Where was it taken?

The moon in early December 2005 was actually a thin crescent. The 15 sec exposure really makes the overexposed moon look full. The little bright star is Venus.

Beautiful This looks like another planet. Voted.

Viewing this wonderfully taken early-night shot seems to impart some sense of solitary moment and peace in one's mind. Which is precisely opposed to the sunset hour when the sun's yellow, orange, red and/or a combination of such majical colors let out some semblance of restiveness, energy, and ambivalence. I have too many beautiful sunset photos of my own but none of this. Thanks for sharing this Muriah.

It looks like we've been given a "present" from God - my idea of "eye candy"

Nice image

This is wonderful. I would love to see this on a black background instead of light blue. I think it would be more radient that way. But it is wonderful here too.

Awesome! About how long after sunset was it? Amazing how much color is still in the sky that we never see once the sky goes black to our eyes.
