The Disappearance of Venus

A long-time exposure (about 3.5 minutes) of Venus setting in the early night sky out at Pawnee National Grassland in northeastern Colorado.

This was taken at the same pond as this sunset capture ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/fortphoto/424138507/ ) I posted over the weekend.
