Phoenix, AZ

Crescent Moon and Venus (also in crescent mode)

I knew I had to do something tonight - almost missed this and probably 15 minutes too dark. I would have liked to have snapped the pic with more light, but oh well...

Cool stuff. You can actually see the crescent of Venus. Usually, the planet reflects so much light you're not aware she has phases, as well.
