Upon emerging from some shopping at WallyWorld, I was presented with a lovely sight in the western sky;
Zooming in a bit, we can clearly see the group hug of Mars, Venus and the earthshine Moon;
Both shots - Kodak Z885 on a tripod and in "Night Landscape" mode. Gotta love the bright events that can transcend even a mega-lit box store parking lot.

Re: WalMart Astronomy
I looked out the window tonight and caught the view, I didn't realize Mars was in the mix too. Thanks for posting a great image

Super excellent, Mike!!
The view from the parking lot resulted in a great atmospheric setting for your images. A++!
