Day 76: Sunrise...moonset

Day 76: ...sunrise, moonset

One of those lovely celestial coincidences today where the moon was setting in the west just as the sun was rising in the eastern sky. And while there wasn't a lot to capture with the sunrise, (clear sky, no clouds, took quite a while to get above the treeline), the *crested pigeon* next door was getting, you might say, a bird's eye view of the sun coming through the trees. 

The moon setting over the houses and Brisbane suburbia did so against a subtle sky as night turned to day...

I know, I probably should have gone for more green being St Patrick's Day and all but there you go, the moon won out this morning. And another opportunity to capture the moon should be gratefully received. 


Moon setting
Sun rising...over there


I'v been humming a variation of that Fiddler on the Roof tune all day...sunrise...moonset, sunrise, moonset...must be the influence of yesterday's concert.
