Well i reached home quite late, so the two planets were already quite low. I quickly set up my camera outside my house, and without any high ground, i had to deal with the street lights...

At around 7+, i was near the city area and could still see those 2 planets. And from where i was viewing (ie. family's car, heading home), the city acted as a foreground with the two planets above the skyscrapers. Beautiful picture u can take from there, but i had no camera with me :(

Saw it right as soon as the clouds dispersed. Sadly, I was still in camp, even though i was supposed to be on off already. Anyway I caught the 2 planets burning bright from 7.10pm onwards all the way till nearly 9pm.. My eyes were up there even while i was working ^^
