Default Mercury and Venus
They are reasonably close just now and easy to get in the frame, with Mercury at maximum elongation it makes for a good photo op. Clear skies willing they are always a pretty sight especially when viewed low over Loch Leven.

Taken on my way home tonight - enjoy



Canon D60, 50mm prime lens, 15sec@f16 to maximise depth of field
