Tonight was a rare clear and comfortable March evening when I decided to go out and capture the planet Venus, the Roman Goddess of love and beauty setting in the western sky. I chose as a foreground, the Riverview Cemetery in East Hampton, Connecticut. Perched on a hill overlooking Lake Pocotopaug. Venus, the second brightest object in the night sky (the moon is the first) was shining brightly just minutes after sunset. Here are a couple of images I managed to capture before it set between the obelisks of this sacred ground.
