Belt of Venus

While the rest of the world was straining to see the Venus transit last night, I was warm and cozy in bed. But when I did get up to rouse the kids, I saw something quite beautiful out of my son’s bedroom window: The belt of Venus (that pink horizontal band), between the Western horizon and the setting Full Moon. So I snapped this picture, using the my cameraphone (5MP Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro, on ‘auto’ mode, in case you’re interested). Pretty, yes?
