Sky Watch - Blue moon and sunset

The second full moon in August, taken about 12 hours after the moment of fullness. For a much clearer image of the blue moon, see the NASA APOD post On a blue moon.

Sunset on September 4.
Second image is about 10 minutes after the first.

    It is amazing how quickly a sun sets! Trying to fiddle for one's camera, you can actually miss the whole thing. lol Great captures!!
