Hi Owlice, thank you for posting two of my images!
Both photos, "5 planets in a row (one up close!)" and "Planets and Araucarias", were taken in Campos do Jordao, a winter resort on the hills, just over 100 miles northeast of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Since I live in Sao Paulo, the sierra is where I get the chance to enjoy beautiful skies. The region is nearly covered by araucaria pine trees, seen as symbols of the town. Campos do Jordao lies along an international air route, and on the second photo a series of faint, double dots can be seen between Mercury and the tree to the right, as an airplane blinked by during the 3.2" exposure.
