Sun Overpowers Moon, Moon Fades Away

After last night's more dramatic sunset, the moon set this morning was far more subtle. In fact, I figured I wouldn't even see it as the sun was getting brighter as the moon lowered in the sky. I took this just before the sun totally won and the moon more or less faded from the naked eye view. Taken from our deck looking out to High Island -- where the sun was setting last night.
Five more days before we return to Chicago - move in date is tentatively October 19th!

A lovely shot and clear sky. I suppose you cannot wait to finally move ;-)

Love all ghat space and your composition. Hope all goes smooth with the move, and this difficult time is over. Must be fascinating to unpack all those things, you have not had/seen for so long.

I like the big sky. I hope it all goes well with your move. After all this time, it must be great to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

[Jane Pittenger]

I like your huge sky in proportion to the land. Hooray re move in date. Enough aleeady

[Faye Turner]

Lovely capture!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I love how the moon starts out so boldly in the morning and then slowly fades as the sun works its way up in the sky. Great shot- love the wide open sky.

[Taffy]

@olivetreeann I agree...and the cycle never looks exactly the same two days in a row.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@taffy True! Sometimes I'm outside looking for the moon in one place when it's somewhere else!

[Rosie Kerr]

Lovely empty space over the skinny strip of land. Move-in date at last!!

[Harry J Benson]

nice composition

[Marnie]

Yippee, some certainly on the domestic front at last. It's been such a long-haul for you two. Love the minimalism in this image.

[Rob Z]

Love your image -that moon is just struggling way up there in the bright sky.
