   THANKS FOR VISITING EPOD. THE BLOG SERVICE IS HAVING A TECHNICAL ISSUE.
   WE HOPE TO RESOLVE THIS WITH OUR SERVICE PROVIDER SOON.

   Can you spot the sliver of the crescent Moon? Because it was only about
   1.3% illuminated when this photo was snapped, at dawn on June 28, 2022,
   it isn’t exactly conspicuous against the pumpkin-colored sky. As night
   has now lost its grip, hordes of bats are returning to their caves
   (could this be the source of the dark smudge at lower right?) and other
   spooky, nocturnal creatures will soon be asleep in their lairs. Photo
   taken in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, on June 28, 2022, at 05:12 a.m. local
   time.
