Image Details:

Thin sliver of Moon of Thursday morning in the wee hours of the morning.
Venus had just risen up to the level of my vision, to stay just behind the Moon.
Moon reflected back in earthshine from its reflection in water.
I am so glad I did not sleep through this morning,, and that skies were clear.
