This photo shows the one day old moon setting above the silhouette of Pikes Peak.
I took this photo a number of years ago from atop a small bluff behind my old townhouse complex in Colorado Springs.
You can see earth shine on the moon, the phenomenon in which the light of the sun is first reflected by the day side of Earth and back on the otherwise dark face of the crescent moon, illuminating it, too, allowing us to see detail on its surface.
I used a Canon 70D and a Canon EF-S 17-55mm lens to capture this image.
