Venus over Atlas Coal Mine.jpg
Venus, very bright as an evening star, shines over the old historic Atlas Coal Mine in the Red Deer River Valley, Alberta, near East Coulee. The mine buildings are the last standing from many coal mines that operated in the valley up until the 1970s. The Atlas Coal Mine is now a museum and National Historic Site.
Mercury shines at right just above the horizon. The nearly Full Moon provides much of the illumination, though a sodium vapour light also provides some of the warm light to the foreground.
