Skywatch Friday – South Dakota Moon with Venus

Crescent Moon, Venus,

Last weekend I made a quick trip up to South Dakota from Oklahoma to attend a family reunion. I had a good time on the drive. I stopped and found some geocaches and took a few pictures and took my time getting up there. Driving along I29 in South Dakota south of Sioux Falls I spotted the crescent moon over the wheat fields and pulled off the next rest stop to take a photograph.

When I saw the powerlines and was a little disappointed but I’m big into the concept that if you don’t get what you want then you work with you got so I got an electrical transmission tower along with my sliver of a moon and my planet venus. Which since I’m a generous guy I’ve decided to share the moon, Venus, and even the tower with you.

    That is a pretty good drive up and back in a weekend, and you still made time for geocaches and photos. You make good use of your time. Your sunset is a very nice balance of light and dark.

    I like the electrical tower, it makes the photo more real. I thought the evening skies in SD were very dramatic and you’ve done a great job of capturing it.
