Crescent Moon over the Ivy


Hand held Canon 600D DSLR at ISO 6400 image taken over our boundary fence
The weather wasn't good enough for astrophotography but as it wasn't raining I decided to go out side and look at the crescent Moon.  July is the month for spotting 'noctilucent clouds' but sadly the clouds on view were much lower in the atmosphere but none the less quite pretty, pink against the blue sky.

High level clouds were scudding about but they were not noctilucent
