Planetary Trio.

The evening of June 6th, 2005 was lovely not only for its sun-set. The three jewels of Saturn (upper left), Venus (centre), and Mercury (bottom) added to the spectacle as they neared their closest approach. Photo details: Minolta camera, 3 second exposure with a 135mm lens @ f-3.5, Fuji Provia 400F slide film.
