It was around 6pm when my son Franky noticed this unusual celestial alignment last night. It reminded me of a symbol. Maybe a flag or a respected emblem of a religious group. To describe what I saw: It was very nice to look at, especially with the reddish hue of the sky as the sun was going down on the other side. I wanted to stop and take a picture, but we were literally driving in the middle of the road.
When we got to our destination, it was already dark. I got off at the other side of the mall. As I crossed the bridge- way, this wonderful sight waved at me.
People filled the bridge- way taking pictures of the moon and the planet Venus. Am I lucky or what? This is the third celestial wonder I witnessed for 2010. The sight is nicer from afar to appreciate the form it made.

I would probably say, that I was just at the right place and time. Unlike the first 2 events early this year, I've never heard of any news about this third alignment. Most of the time we see Venus near the moon, but not this close and not as wonderful. As always, here in Southeast Asia, we're blessed to witness most wonders in the sky at very window of our own homes.
