"A HEAVENLY ARRAY..."

...in the southwest Arizona desert sky

December 1st, 2008

at sundown.

The Moon, Venus, and Jupiter...

just hanging out together

waiting patiently for nightfall to arrive to dance the night away...

totally oblivious

to the myriads of twinkling holiday lights

decorating planet Earth below.

 

It took my breath away.

 

"Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards

and

leads us from this world to another."

~Plato
