Image Details:

Waning Crescent Moon and Venus in bright Volcanic Sunrise at 5.52 am.
On Thursday 25th the 4% illuminated Waning Crescent Moon appeared in yet another colourful volcanic sunrise display above Cecil Kop hills to the ENE of Murambi with Venus some distance below and to the right. Both objects quickly became difficult to see above the bright glare of approaching sunrise.
