Part of a planetary conjunction of Jupiter, Venus and Mercury. Very hard to see Mercury is between the 2nd and third powerlines from the top, to the right of the bird feeder, in between limbs of the tree This was very hard to balance the exposure to bring out mercury but not have it washed out in the twilight sky. taken from our frontyard outside of Yarker Ontario on 2012Dec13 at 18:48 EST A range of exposures were done and this turned out to be the best balance.
