A dreamy trip to Agrigento, Sicily, Italy, for the occultation of Venus of December 1, 2008. I photographed the event from the majestic Valley of Temples, the greatest complex of ancient Greek temples in the world. This is the temple of Concord, the most wonderful and well preserved of them. Jupiter was only two degrees away from Venus and the Moon.
