Rajab 1430 Begins
Rajab Hilal 1430
The new crescent moon (or Hilal in Arabic) of the 7th month of the Islamic Calendar, known as Rajab, was sighted this evening at 8:40 pm PDT from Russsian Ridge Open Space Preserve in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was a perfect afternoon with subtle but stunning colors and atmospherics. For moons, it just does not get better than this one. More on the afternoon preceeding this photo in a later post. Enjoy!

[…] I waited that evening for the new crescent moon to appear, I was glad to have a digital camera with me as well.
