The Moon, Jupiter, and Venus

I caught these three close together as I left the office this evening. At first, I thought it was the moon with a pair of artificial satellites or something. Turns out they were the planets Jupiter and Venus. They've all set here now. Venus is the lower of the three, Jupiter to the right of the frame, and they're all trailed a bit so I could get the light trails in the highways beneath (10 second exposure -- they move that much in 10 seconds!).
