Belt of Venus
The sky has been very good to us the past few days. It was so grey and so gross for so long, it’s a relief to see colors again.

It was another good sky watching morning!

I like the pattern the steam makes in this image. It was about 10F, and it’s supposed to be just as cold tomorrow morning, too. As I was warming up my car and scraping the windows, before leaving for work, one of my neighbors came out of his apartment, jumped in his car, started it, and immediately drove off. Without letting it warm up, and without scraping the windows! Poor car!
Full Moon in the Earth’s Shadow
This isn’t technically a great photo, obviously, but the view this morning from the staff lounge was pretty wonderful. The full moon is in the twilight arch (the shadow of the Earth cast on the atmosphere by the sun rising in the opposite direction), below the Belt of Venus (the reflection of the sunrise in the opposite direction). This was morning, so it was the western sky.

It was snowing when I left for work, but even in the pre-dawn dark, I could see the clouds breaking up. By the time the sun rose, the sky was mostly clear. Clear skies are nice, but they also mean cold weather. It was 11F when I got to work. Don’t know what the wind chill was, but it was cold.
Morning Belt of Venus
There’s some fish-eye action with this lens, but that’s typical of all small cameras. I usually straighten bowed lines in Photoshop, but I kind of liked these, so I left them in.
