This afternoon we were so lucky to witness truly amazing scene - Moon and Mercury in close dance just above bright Venus soon after the sunset :) I took an image and you can see how Mercury was actually close to the Moon. At some point I also notices a stripe of light clouds passing by, and I waited few moments until it crossed the Moon producing some nice reflection. I hope you will enjoy the view and please feel free to share if you like it !

Beautiful! Great composition. Mercury almost looks like a moon of the moon ;)
