Description

The new moon a few days after Summer Solstice. It looked like it was being lit by the beautiful sunset that we were having that evening.

In truth it's the new moon's reflected 'white' light from the Sun is passing at a shallow angle through our atmosphere whereby particulates are causing the blue and green light to be dispersed giving it a red appearance. But that's not a as poetic.
