Venus and Saturn at Last Light
Picture taken on Christmas Day with last sunset twilight beneath strange band of cloud over Mutare and Chikanga. Two planets – Venus (bright above) and Saturn (now dim and close to the sunset horizon) visible. All the lights on in Chikanga (no power cuts for a change) with the red glow from a garden refuse fire in the foreground. Beautiful!
