crescent moon and venus in daylight 20 may 2007
took this just a few minutes ago - about 1.5 hours to sunset and you can plainly see Venus and the crescent moon in broad daylight - get out and have a look Venus is at the 10o'clock position about 2 fingers to the let of the crescent moon.

Pentax k10d and the trusty 50-500 sigma lens on a tripod. note I rotated the shot to get them in

we now have your cloud???????!!! How unfair is this?? I thought we were to have clear skies for a while with this high pressure system that moved in. It has been an absolute riper of a day, beautiful !! now this, not even a sunset to look at, sniff sniff
