Here are some photos of Mercury and Jupiter near Venus taken on May 26 and 27, 2013. Click on images to enlarge.

The above photos were taken at dusk on May 26, 2013. Please note that the three planets almost form an equilateral triangle. The brightest planet shown is Venus, the one besides Venus is Jupiter and the planet above Venus is Mercury.

The above photos were taken at dusk on May 27, 2013. Please note that the three planets almost form a right triangle. Again, the brightest planet shown is Venus, the one besides Venus is Jupiter and the planet above Venus is Mercury. In a few of the photos, I did manage to photograph Venus' reflection on the water and I did see the reflections of Jupiter and Mercury on the water but was unable to get those reflections to show up in any of my photos very well.
