Thanks, jan. I can see sun/moon rise from one side of my house, and sunset from the other... after I shot these on one side, I went to the balcony on the other side, and realized I had just missed shooting a really gorgeous sunset. It was a beautiful, clear day here this afternoon, so all the celestial activity looks especially yummy this evening.

here's mine, from the heart of Bushwick. I was riding my bike home and it was in this beautiful space between the clouds my whole ride home. Finally I stopped to take the picture and as I was getting my camera ready, it went behind the clouds.

Wispy overcast here but still an interesting picture.

These are lovely. I wanted to get up early enough to catch the moon setting on the other side... but I failed.

Here's an old PenCam shot of this, though, taken around 7 in the morning.
