Inspired by Robs take on streetlights I shall record two such moments that occured this week.

In a break of routine for some reason I went to work by car on Thursday morning and arrived there maybe a quarter to seven in the morning. The sky was overcast, dawn was well underway. It was cold, just above freezing and windy. On my way from the most distant parking lot to the main entrance I noticed a large group of crows heading East towards some secret meeting place, or whereever the crows were heading. I looked up for a lengthy moment. Several large groups were flying above in what would amount to maybe seven minutes of my walk. Absolutely fascinating, even though I have seen this a few times since I work in this place.
On the way home it so happened that I arrived just in time to see the two fairly bright dots in the evening sky. The sun had just set. I knew that the lights are Venus and Jupiter, but I did not expect them to appear as close. Very nice view.
Always keep your eyes open! Always expect the unexpected!
