Belt of Venus

Taken somewhere along the Chesapeake Bay.

More spectacular shots from the plane

As I mentioned earlier, the first flight left before dawn provided an extended (because flying westward) pre-dawn and sunrise show. When I fly, I always try to look for optical phenomenon and this flight was the most spectacular I have ever seen.

@wigalois Beautiful #BeltOfVenus too!

Here’s one of mine…

So now I suppose I’ve literally painted myself into a corner and have to do a painting at some point showing the Belt of Venus. I am going to need a pretty good photo that I can use as reference, it being raining all the time here lately in the UK - where it rains a lot but lately is giving above and beyond the call of duty. So if you have some good images of the Belt of Venus that I can use as reference let me know. #beltofvenus

The Belt of Venus, the pink smudge across the top of trees. It is the shadow of the Earth rising into the evening sky seen away from the sunset or sunrise. #beltofvenus #evening #nightskyphotography #sunset #nightsky #sky #bluesky
