Dance of the Planets

When it's not been too cloudy or rainy (i.e. not very often!), I've been watching Jupiter overtake Venus in the western evening sky. This is what it looked like tonight.


Meanwhile, in the east, the smoke left over from the Fourth of July fireworks bathes Clifton Forge.


Two nights ago, the just-past-full moon glowed red through the haze.


And here's the reason why I haven't been able to see many stars since I've been back in the U.S.

Lightning illuminates clouds to the east.
