Mercury & Venus

I happen to spot Mercury and Venus while I stepped outside during twilight.

I setup the camera and captured this.

Enjoy.

Thanks Narayan,

It was a lovely sight, just after twilight was ended. I'm quite happy with how it turned out considering part of the house is in the frame.

I like that shot. I think the foreground adds something to the picture. Thanks for posting it - I've not had any cloudless sunsets lately.
