As Dawn encourages that ball of fire to rise, Venus prepares to exit the stage watched by the moon.

Observed @ Cope Hut car park, with the Snowy Mountains Range on the horizon.
For all interested visitors, the tallest peak is Australia's highest with an altitude of
2,228 metres (7,310 ft), which means you won't need to bring additional oxygen. :~)

It was c-c-cold (-6C). Ice was forming on the windows of the car as I waited for this shot to eventuate.
The thermal mittens made it bearable enough for me to consider myself a privileged witness.
