As a son of the West, I have been moved by the moods of weather and the mystery of the skies throughout my life. I'm not usually drawn to sunset and sunrise -- I tend to look east at sunset and west at sunrise. I love having enough sky and space to see the curvature of the earth in the sky. I love the soft colors of the Belt of Venus -- the rose colored band created by the earth's curvature. The moon on this particular evening seemed to be a jewel in the Belt of Venus.
