Waxing Moon


Moonrise over Bondi earlier this evening.

Every time I see this I realise how far away from Sweden Australia is. When I grew up in Sweden, I learnt that the moon crescent is vertical and travels from one side to the other. But not until I came to Australia had I ever seen moon crescents like this. Ok, I wobbled a bit with the camera but you get the idea – sometimes here the moon looks like a smiling mouth, not a standing crescent.
