Mercury and Moon Above Ragusa

The Moon and the elusive Mercury meet and chase each other in the evening sky above the Ragusa area in Italy.
In this photo-sequence I wanted to keep the light and colors present when the Moon was still high in the sky, since the brightness of the scene varied a lot during the shooting.

Shooting data: Nikon D800 + Tamron 100-400 f/4.5-6.3 @100mm, f/7.1, ISO-200, 1.6sec. (19 shots)

Location: Modica, Ragusa, Italy
