Taken from Cincinnati with a hand held digital camera at sunset in Monterey while the photographer was vacationing in California this past summer. He didn't know it at the time, but he captured a 3.79 day old waxing crescent Moon juxtaposed with Saturn to the upper left. Not a high end professional shot, but a delight all the same.
