Hit the road about 4:50am, made my way north to Lake Bluff, and was treated to one of the most spectacular displays of astronomy I can ever recall along the lakefront. Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and the crescent moon have been putting on a show for a couple of days. However, low on the horizon, elusive Mercury decided to make a special appearance as well. All I can say is WOW! If you were out biking early this morning, you got a real eyeful.
This picture doesn't do it justice, but this is what it looked like when all four planets were visible. You'll need to use your imagination--the phone wasn't sensitive enough to pick up Mercury and Mars.
Really enjoying the beautiful fall colors in your pictures. Thanks for continuing to post through the seasons.
Thank you for the kind words, Yasmeen.
