Got out for an evening walk with @vexedmuddler.bsky.social and, having been clouded out on our earlier attempt to spot Mercury, we tried again with perfectly clear skies to the west. Success!

As we crossed the old Guilford Quarry Pratt Through Truss Bridge we were joined by a moonshadow.

Seems like an awfully long name for such a short bridge, but… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Venus is easy to see at upper right; Mercury is dimmer but still visible at middle left.A shot looking down the old truss bridge, with the moonshadow of the upper beams clearly visible on the wooden deck.
