A handheld shot taken with my phone so a little bit fuzzy.
Stepped outside to take in the cool night air and was treated to this spectacle. The photo doesn’t do it justice.
Jupiter – Moon – Saturn

Ruth,
A little photography trick is done to capture the colours that are often washed out. If your camera has a sunset setting then switch to that and see what you get, it should make the colours more vivid.
Hans,
Dog days are the hottest period of the year, the period between early July and early September, when Sirius, the so-called Dog Star, rises and sets with the sun.
From Wikipedia:
The dog days or dog days of summer are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star system Sirius (known colloquially as the “Dog Star”), which Hellenistic astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck. They are now taken to be the hottest, most uncomfortable part of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
There was also a movie entitled, “Dog Day Afternoon” which was about a bank robbery gone wrong, probably the title comes from the bad luck element.
