First waning moon of 2022

My first camera images for the new year: a 4.9 percent illuminated waning moon with a faint but noticeable earth glow and only two days away from the last new moon before the Chinese New Year on 01 February 2022. It so happened that I was already awake at six o'clock - a rarity! - and thus decided to step outdoors for a breath of cool fresh morning air. So there I was, wandering around the neighbourhood, and I saw the moon low in the sky. Tomorrow at about the same time even if the weather is clear, it should be barely above the horizon, even thinner and practically impossible to see.
