Series: Take A Moment and Enjoy A Sunset……and Crescent Moon

Last night’s dramatic sunset lasted for just a few minutes before the distant clouds covered the sky in grey. What a moment!

Sunset over Cambridge Creek

Always attempting moon shots after sunset, I took this crescent moon September 1st as it lowered in the night sky over the marina across Cambridge Creek.

Moon over Generation Marina, Cambridge Creek

“When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the Creator.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Nicely seen, Donna and such a sharp one of the moon with the light on the marina building, too.

Both lovely. The lighting in the second photo is exceptional!

  Thank you, Belinda! The moon shot was a difficult one for me, with the light pole in the frame. But if I shot with it out or cropped this one I posted, the glare was still in the photo. So, okay, I said the marina light stays! 😉
