Details:
This evening strong winds cleared most of the dry season smoke haze to reveal the New Moon and Mercury close together just before dark above Christmas Pass, Mutare. In addition to the Crescent Moon and Mercury, the pictures show that the lights were on in town (no load-shedding for a change), headlights of traffic descending Christmas Pass and the red glow of a dying bush fire which had been burning in the hills all afternoon. Both are four second time exposures taken with a tripod mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 compact camera in Night Scenery mode.
