Morning Conjuncture

This morning there was a conjuncture of Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon. 
I really wanted to capture an image with a nice foreground.....was thinking over downtown Springfield. 
In order to plan my shot, I used an app called Photo Pills. Using it, I was able to see that I would not be able to get the angle I wanted over the downtown area. I did see, though, that the conjuncture would be nicely composed with the Northridge water tower if I shot my images from the Northridge Bowling Alley parking lot....coincidentally just a couple of miles from us. 
Here's my result....

May Full Flower Moon

Well, the cloud cover moving in didn't allow for the best moon images....
While I like to see a clear and bright full moon, the clouds added interest and opportunities to capture something a bit different.
I was using the Olympus EM1 Mark3 in the Starry Sky mode.
