Crescent Moon and Venus over Sydney
5:31 pm, 6 June; photo from my kitchen
We had another stunning winter sunset in Sydney today, the near-cloudless sky darkening from clearest blue to a band of glowing orange along the western horizon, below a darkening blue above. Today had the added bonus of not only the planet Venus, but also a crescent moon.

And if you’re wondering — those small black smudges in the photos are not marks on my lens, or flies. They’re flying foxes (out of focus!) which at sunset stream east in their thousands. I often wonder where they’re going, because east very soon becomes vast ocean!
The coming of the night
Crescent moon over Sydney at the end of a clear autumn day.
No dramatic glowing clouds for today’s sunset, but a cloudless blue sky fading to deepest orange — and the moon, “waxing crescent”, hanging low in the west.

Spiky silhouettes
The palm fronds are spiky seen against this sunset in Harlingen, Texas.
March’s square theme is Spiky Squares (spiky, jagged, pointy, bristly, serrated, prickly, spiny, and/or barbed)
The Pinnacles at sunset
The Pinnacles Desert, Western Australia
The Pinnacles Desert is 190km (120miles) north of Perth in Western Australia. The pinnacles themselves are ancient limestone pillars. At sunset, some of the taller ones form jagged shapes on the horizon.
Sydney Sunset
The harbour, the opera house, the bridge, the lights of Luna Park, the flawless Sydney sky.
I never get tired of this view, especially at sunset.
I took this photo on 28 March while attending Opera on the Harbour (La Bohème), which I’ll post about in a few days.
