I
went to "Jaame Abbasi mosque" which Ali Akbar Esfahani built
400 years ago to take these photos. Then I took another
photo: Venus & the Moon above his statue! |

Today it was a nice birthday present for me to have a short watch to the eclips of Venus by the moon. The weahter was very bad. But for some minutes the cloudes go away. It was a wonderfull view so see the bright venus near the small moon. I am very happy for this birthday present. Canon EOS 20D, 1/500 seconds, 4000 mm focus, 100 ASA
Kind regards Günther Strauch

Unfortunately,
I wasn't able to see Venus' immersion and emersion because
of the clouds. But I can remember the strange view of that
pale crescent with this bright dot near the Moon with the
naked eyes.
