Venus and a common switf imitate the Moon

The planet Venus is now getting so close to Earth that it shows even with a simple Nikon camera its phase. But it is not the only thing in nature that reminds us of the Moon by its shape.

Here is infact its withe scythe beside the black scythe of a common swift, flying together in the blue sky in broad daylight, like two little moons.
