Orion II by elza

Orion II

Today Ash Wednesday, my wife and I decided to avoid the early morning Mass as we thought it would be chilly at 7.00am. So we opted for the evening Mass. As I went out (second time out), I spotted the moon with two bright planets on opposite side. Unfortunately when I got back from Mass the moon had almost disappeared behind the buildings. Overhead hovered the constellation Orion. My wife and I have a special connection to Orion's belt as we called them, "our stars". During our courtship, so many years ago, we saw the stars as representing her, me and God in whom we wanted to share our love.

BOB of course

P.S. thanks to all of you who wished me good health and a speedy recovery.

I like this photo of the sky and the constellations and the story of how they are special to you. The crescent moon and two planets were very visible when I left the restaurant after supper last evening and I had a great vantage point. However I only had my mobile phone. Not as big and clear as I would have liked.

@milaniet @boxplayer @joansmor @wakelys @randystreat @casablanca Thank you all for visiting and your comments. I wish I knew how to and what needs to be done to get a better shot of the sky. I believe there's some post processing involved to get any kind of good result.

I'm planning to go out for a short walk this afternoon.
