Venus-rise – instablief

I decided this morning, very soon after getting out of my toasty bed, that I wasn’t going to ride in to work today and instead ride the train.
I reasoned (hint: there isn’t such a thing as “reason” for me at that hour of my day) that the wind and rain would be all over the place and I could take a “heavy-item-transport” day.
Once outside I nearly instantly regretted my decision.

I don’t often regret.

The wind was rather warm and the rain was in the form of star-shine.
When I arrived at the depot I snapped this shot of Venus, rising in the east, just ahead of the sun.

Makes me feel a little better.
