Sometimes the sky above can become quite a show….

In the above image taken in Spain, a crescent Moon and the planet Venus, on the far right, were captured during sunset posing against a deep blue sky.   In the foreground, dark storm clouds loom across the image bottom, while a white anvil cloud shape appears above. Black specks dot the frame, caused by a flock of birds taking flight.

Very soon after this picture was taken, however, the birds passed by, the storm ended, and Venus and the Moon set.

Bright Venus again becomes visible just after sunset this 2013 May and will appear near Jupiter toward the end of the month.
