Mercury shines on the summer solstice
The planet Mercury is always difficult to observe, but with a little patience you can spot it: on the evening of June 21, the first evening of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the "messenger of the gods" (according to mythology) appeared on the western horizon after sunset.
I had been monitoring it for a few evenings, and finally I managed to photograph it in the colors of summer twilight.
