Wow, I See Venus! by taffy

Wow, I See Venus!

I went for a walk after dinner on Friday and happened on a lively scene at our local park. A band was playing, people were having picnics, and, on the little hill (Chicago is VERY flat), members of an astronomy club had brought their telescopes for a night viewing. It was a lot of fun watching the kids get their first peek of a planet, or -- in the case of one of the telescopes -- the top of a crane (definitely an urban evening sky).
Very cool shot.
