A conjunction in Twilight!

This morning we had a mesmerizing conjunction of the Waning Crescent (1.9%) just next to planet Venus which is about to leave the morning skies. To add to the beauty of these celestial objects twilight shed its colors in the background to make it appear more special.
This is my oldest Moon capture in terms of age which was 28 days and 08 hours, it has been on my list to capture it for a long time and glad that i got the chance today.
New moon occurs on Saturday 27-08-22 at 01:18PM PKST so it won't be visible on 27th, rather it would appear in the western horizon soon after sunset on 28th August.
