About this image

We had another clear sky from western France again this morning. The crescent Moon is visible just rising above the roof tops. Venus shines brightly in the upper left of the image with Saturn much fainter below Venus and Mars to the right of Venus above the crescent Moon. The Moon lies well south of the ecliptic so only rose in quite bright twilight.
