Post-processing Details:

Added a filter to reduce the glare from the street lights. The blue sky above the red horizon looks grey as a result. No changes to the appearance of moon and Venus.

Image Details:

Waxing Crescent Moon and Venus adorning the dusky western sky. The moon was at 5.2% luminance. It was more than an hour past sunset and an hour before moon set. Perfect time to gaze at the planets and the moon. In fact these were not the only bright objects in the sky. Jupiter and Saturn were shining brightly in the eastern sky. This was one of those moments when you wish you were on top of a hill or a tower.
