First Quarter Moon

Tonight I observed the first quarter Moon.  I was happy to be able to see it because it was a little bit hazy.  Here is what I saw.

I am in Muscle Shoals visiting my in-laws, so this picture was taken from the main street in their neighborhood on Friday, August 24, 2012 at 9:15pm.  It was a hazy night, and the Moon looked a little eerie just above the tree line in the subdivision where my in-laws live.  Half of the side of the Moon facing Earth was illuminated.
