Fingernail Moon

Up at 5.30 this morning to open the office for the early shift. Despite cursing my bad luck as I staggered outside into the cold my early start was rewarded by good views of the crescent shaped moon enhanced by a very bright Venus appearing beside it.

The moon is on the wane, i.e. getting smaller and I think the term applying to it's current phase is a "waning crescent". All I know is it looked spectacular until it disappeared behind a cloud.

All down hill from here I am sure!
