Comet is brilliant and dominating the western skies, but in this latitude (44 deg. N) we now only have about twenty minutes before it sets. This photo taken at 17:00 local time creates the illusion that it is going to crash into a radio antenna at the city outskirts.
Photo details: Nikon D70, 500mm Reflex f/8 lens, ISO 400, 1 sec exposure
