The Things I See
Celestial Summit Meeting II
Posted by Craig (Vacaville, California, United States) on 6 February 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
The three brightest heavenly objects, Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon formed an isosceles triangle on Monday morning, February 4, 2008, just minutes before sunrise.

Super shot. Does that mean anything astrologically or mythologically?

@Michael Skorulski: Thanks Michael! I'm not sure about the significance of this event other than I thought it was beautiful. You can find out more about it here.

Very elegant in its simplicity! Just three elements and the gradiant blue, superb...

Another absolutely great image. Other than the two planets and the moon, I see at least 2 other faint lights in there. Random stars?

Such a beautiful image, Craiger! It has a fairytale feeling yet very real real, too... I hope that made sense. :)
