The Money Shot...

I snapped this one tonight. I walked about a block to get away from my building to get a better view of the western horizon.
Click to embiggen. Look closely between the two palm trees near the center of the image. Those two guys are Mercury and Jupiter! Yep, I got the foursome tonight.

Better yet, I submitted the photo to KVOA, our local NBC affiliate, and they just used it on the local newscast! So yeah, I am feeling a little smug tonight.

With a title like that for your blog, hale, I'm not the only one with my mind in the gutter. Nice photography.

Nice pic! When I saw that glow in the background, the first thing that popped into my mind was that guy lighting up a fart again in that park in Caledonia.

Don't be too congratulatory...I only show you the good ones! Fortunately, with practice, the good ones are slowly getting to be a higher percentage.
