The moon and Venus

Nice and sharp! (The real trick, of course, is to get Venus inside the horns of the moon, as shown on some moslem flags...)

Here's one I took in Anguilla a few years ago. (I should have a much nicer one with the Manhattan skyline, but I can't find it!)

But in this case I was stuck with where Venus happened to be.

Did you mean this one?

Um, that was a trick question. And, no, no morning star in that one (I looked through the whole lot - I've got to do some trouble shooting tonight).

She's so ugly that it gets dark
when she looks into the sky.
Then the light is frightened,
It shines into her face from below.
So she must hide during the day,
She just doesn't want to scare the light,
She lives in the shadows until the glow fades,
She sees a star shining in the twilight and pleads
"Paint beauty onto my cheeks"

Morningstar, oh shine,
onto the visage of mine.
Cast a warm light
onto my frightening face .
Tell me I'm not alone.

Ugly, you are ugly

I went alone in the night,
The late birds no longer sang.
I saw children of the sun in the throng so
I cried into the starry heavens:

Morningstar, oh shine
onto the beloved of mine.
Cast a warm light
onto her frightening face.
Tell her she's not alone.

Morningstar, oh shine
onto the soul of mine.
Cast a warm light
onto a heart that's breaking.
Tell her that I'm crying.
Because you, you are ugly.
You are simply ugly.
Humans are just creatures of the eye,
Beautiful things are what I want
But you, you aren't beautiful, no

And the star wants to shine
onto the beloved of mine.
It warms my breast and shakes
where life beats.
To see with the heart,
She is simply beautiful.

I know the one you mean; I saved a copy of it. If it helps, the file date is September 10th, 2002.
