Dawn in Wantagh

I took it this morning at dawn.
When I bring up the photo properties, I see the exact time as 6:40am which makes sense since I was aiming to get on the 6:46 train to Penn Station.
There are a few interesting things about this photo.
First, it looks like the moon is visible in the photo, but I can't remember seeing it when I took the picture. Starry Night tells me t hat the moon was a waning crescent at this time. It's too bad that Venus isn't visible in the photo, because it was prominently glowing below and to the left of the moon. I suppose the thick cloud cover is the cause.
Second, notice that there is a parking lot in the lower right-hand corner of the photo. It appears as if all of the tail lights are on. What's probably happening is that the flash from my camera went off and the tail lights are actually lit up by it! I took a few shots without my flash and confirmed that this must be the case. In the pictures without the flash, the tail lights are unlit.
Here is the Starry night Pro image:
While my picture has some interesting color, you should check out these sunrises posted to flickr.
