Above Average Sunset & Crescent Moon

It might not have been one of those mind blowing sunsets that you get in the tropics almost every day and you get here every few years, but it was definitely signficantly above average. Lots of nice color.

A few contrails lit up in nice shades of pink and purplish-orange.

And rising even further away from the Sun, but still close enough to get into the picture with the proper iPhone camera settings, the Moon is now four days past new and 23% illuminated.

All together, it doesn’t suck. Most days that’s about the best you can ask for.
