The lunar crescent, accompanied by its ashen light, crosses the path of the brilliant planet Venus in the twilight sky of this early winter. Seen from the top of the Semnoz above Annecy, the purity of the sky that evening gives the horizon this warm colour which contrasts with the deep blue of the sky and the sleepy slopes of the ski resort. On the horizon, on the left, the peaks of the Chartreuse are clearly visible, while the Lac du Bourget begins to mist up on the right of the picture, surmounted by the tabular silhouette of the Dent du Chat.
