For those who watch the skies there was a very close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on august 27th this year.
I had to much cloud cover at this time but was able to scratch around in my digital photo folders for these pictures I took back in 2013 of a similar alignment and conjunction.

By the 29th May 2013 Mercury has left its triangular location and is heading to an aligned position

Below is a time-lapse animation that shows the movements of Venus, Mercury and Jupiter compiled by Peter Lowenstein from August 1st to August 27th this year and shows how the stars align over those weeks.
