Photographer: Juan Manuel Pérez Rayego Summary Author: Juan Manuel Pérez Rayego
The photograph above shows the Belt of Venus as observed from Cerro de la Alcazaba, Spain. This pinkish colored band of light sits upon a blue-gray band along the horizon -- the rising Earth's shadow. Below the muted colors of the belt and shadow lie the foothills of the Sierra Morena Mountains that serve as a dividing line for the hydrographic basins of two large Spanish rivers; the Guadiana River basin (at left), and the Guadalquivir River basin (at right). Photo taken at sunset in late September 2024.
