We went home, fetched our cellphone, returned and took this picture (at 08:59 pm). The cellphone is a Nokia N95 8GB cellphone with a Carl Zeiss 5 Megapixel lens. Want to put a picture on Youtube? It's easy. Use Windows Movie Maker to convert the picture into a video. Make the video about a minute long. Windows Movie Maker comes with Windows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1mKFVdstAY My wife and I were taking our dogs for a walk on 2nd December 2008 at about 08:30 pm when we

I saw it accidentally when i'm shotting picture to my house when i saw a smiley face in the sky. I thought it was only my imaginations occuring like real, but i watch news on the night, and i realize that the smiley face on the sky was two planets and one moon (i thought it was 2 stars that aligns above the moon!!) Awesome alignment!!! i will take that picture a hundred times!!! I really saw that. I saw it accidentally when i’m shotting picture to my house
