The Crescent City's Crescent Moon

I'm in my sunroom; it's 8:35 pm. This is the first time I've seen a crescent moon from my sunroom. It's the tiniest sliver of a moon, and it's sitting in the western sky. Now that I can sit in my sunroom for hours at a time, I am more aware of the earth's rotation, as the moon is slowly moving across the sky.

Note: One of New Orleans' nicknames is the Crescent City, because a "crescent" of the course of the Mississippi River runs through it.
