Astronomical interlude

While I was getting ready for a morning's birding with Brian, I took a brief time out to photograph the International Space Station sailing overhead. It passed through the constellation Hercules and quite close to the Moon, before sliding into the dawn past Venus.

The Apennines and Caucasus - the  two mountain ranges that make up the rim of the Mare Imbrium (Sea of Showers) - were lit beautifully, with individual mountain peaks catching the rays of the setting Sun...
