On the way to work, I had to stop and take this.

Nice shot. Must be my eyes, but I can only see one planet (I assume it's Venus). On the other hand, it did remind me how much dust accumulates on my laptop screen.

Edit: Cleaned my screen. Now I see it.

Cheers,

Richard said it first. I was just about the say the same thing - I could see one planet and a bunch of dust.

I love crescent moons like that. You must get up quite early to be heading to work when it's that dark. Thanks for sharing!

Mercury is very difficult to see... I think it's just to the left of the moon.

Very cool! I always like getting a chance to see Mercury.
