Details:
The accompanying images show Mercury on 5th May, Venus on 19th May, the Young Moon on 13th May and the Sun on 20th June 2017 setting in the same place behind a strange weather beaten old Musasa tree known as the Solstice Tree (because it marks the location where the winter Sun viewed from my location in Murambi East sets for several days around the June solstice each year). By remarkable coincidence the two planets closest to the Sun and the May Young Moon set exactly behind this tree within two weeks. Camera: Tripod-mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS40 in sunset, night scenery and manual exposure modes.
