SkyWatch Friday: Crescent Moon

Crescent Moon over Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. August 22, 2012.

This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world.  To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.

My Beautiful Bride likes crescent moons, so when she saw one early Wednesday (August 22) evening she said I should get a picture.  It never takes much to encourage me to get out my camera, so I went out and captured this photo.

    The moon looked similar here yesterday. I would have photographed it had the street light not been in the way! Nice shot!

    This is ‘the man in the moon’ type of shot I like.

    Gorgeous photo. I took a look at it in bigger format and imagined the first man Neil Armstrong on the moon.
