Default Venus and Mercury again

Alas, a little cloud around, but still managed to capture bright Venus, & not so bright Mercury at bottom of pic. The lighter pic has Mercury in the light area to upper left of palm tree, & darker pic it is the brighter of the 'stars' to left of palm tree. Mercury will stay in view for another 1-2 weeks, then heads back towards the Sun. Tomorrow night 4/11 the crescent moon will appear just above the planet Mercury, then a couple of days later it will be near Venus. Taken with a Minolta Dimage 7i 30 sec exp, 400 oso.

Really dramatic, particularly the first one. Nice composition.
