Moon and Venus Meet Over Pond

The waxing crescent Moon and Venus meet in conjunction over a pond on March 22, 2015. Earthshine is visible on the dark side of the Moon. Mars is below the Moon-Venus pairing.

I shot this from the grounds of the Inn of the Mountain Gods, near Ruidoso, in the mountains of central New Mexico. This is an HDR high dynamic range stack of 3 exposures to preserve the bright twilight while bringing out the darker foreground. Shot with the Canon 60Da and 24mm lens.
