Twilight Moon and Venus over Lake Tahoe

This was taken at twilight over Lake Tahoe last night. This was an hour after the sun dropped below the horizon, as the blue hour was giving way to night, but there was still enough orange sunset light coming over the distant horizon to paint the clouds. It was stunning; what a great evening to experience! People stopped their cars from time to time to snap a picture, but no one else stuck around to watch the light evolve.
