That's a Lovely conjuction Mark, might have to go up on the hill near me and see if I can see Mercury myself tommorrow, never seen it before!

:O)
I like that, very much.
Beautiful image.
Fabulous Mark, what a fantastic earthshine.

I was wondering whether you'd manage to get that, events conspired against me last night so I'm glad you did. It looks wonderful, especially the Ashen light and perfectly framed. What a wonderful shot.

I was really lucky to catch it - I fell asleep sitting on the sofa in the early evening (I was so tired after 2 nights at Kelling Heath). I woke up after 9pm, it was getting pretty dark - I just grabbed my camera and made a dash for the garden. I got a few shots in just before Mercury sank behind a shrub!

Just happened to be in the right place at the right time, Mark, falling asleep with a camera in your hand, just your luck. ;)
Deja vu................. :lol:

Mark, while you're at it, what are Saturday's lottery numbers?
