Ever since I captured the St Ann Parish bell tower with the fading sunlight behind it, I've been fascinated with interplay between the tower's environs up there, the "stuff" around it (sunset, fog).
One of the ubiquitous honey locusts in the neighborhood becomes my tripod; I brace the camera against it to keep it from wobbling too much.
The USNO tells us that the "phase of the Moon on 9 February" was "waxing crescent with 8% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated" and that we had "New Moon on 6 February 2008 at 10:44 p.m. Eastern Standard Time."
When we left the Cleveland Home and Garden Show at the I-X Center last night, we observed what my oldest daughter calls a "bananamoon". I wondered if it would hang up there long enough for me to catch it at St Ann's. And it did. Another few minutes and we'd have missed it, though.
The architecture is just incredible. You can read more about it in this Cleveland Heights Landmark Brochure, landmark #8, pg9.
