A sunset picture with dark blue sky above turning to yellow and red closer to the horizon. There are city and factory lights below, then some silhouetted hills. There is some very light cloud and the bright Venus is seen at the top with Mercury below and to the left.

A nice view of Mercury, the innermost planet in our solar system, between Venus & the city lights of Mannheim on this early spring evening 🌚
As seen from 566m elevation atop the Teltschikturm on the Schriesheimer Kopf above Wilhelmsfeld in the Odenwald 🌲🌲🌲
Despite the murk, I was able to follow it down to <1° above the horizon.
Better DSLR photos to follow 🙂👍
