Dale offers the prompt “as night falls” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
The first photo is from Miami Beach some years ago. There is a new moon with Venus just below and faintly below that to the right is Jupiter. Of course, I might have misidentified these. I think I got the moon right. It will set soon as night falls.
The second photo was taken facing east over the Sea of Galilee. This full moon has just risen as night falls.

Great photos, Frank. It’s always good to look up.

Beautiful photos! Its hard to miss the moon! I thought the moon rises when the night falls. Or am I reading this differently than you are saying it? You know, it happens!

The full moon rises in the east when the night falls. The new moon becomes visible just before it sets in the west. If I understand how all that works. Thank you, Mary!

The moon in your first photo is a quarter moon. The new moon is dark. The photos are AMAZING. Especially that full moon over Lake Galilee.

It probably is a quarter moon. Those new moons are very slender. Thank you, Rebecca!
