Lunar flight
... above the belt of Venus (Earth's shadow at sunset). Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis) flying from the feeding fields to their evening safe haven in ponds at Bosque del Apache. I was fortunate enough to be there during the full moon on this night, and the previous night's flight path had helped me figure out the best angle to combine the moonrise and crane silhouettes. (#3)
