This is the view the morning of May 2, 2011 from near San Pedro de Atacama in Chile, as a grouping of four planets rose over the Andes Mountains just before dawn. The planets are, in a line from top to bottom, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Mars. The conical volcano at left is Licancabur, a peak with an altitude of 19,400 feet or 5900 metres. This was shot with the Canon 7D at ISO 800 for 5 seconds at f/2.8 with the Sigma 50mm lens.
