Conjunction of Moon and Venus

Here are some photos made from my balcony (facing west) over the last few days. Except perhaps on the first two photos, the remaining apparent positions  would qualify for conjunctions.

The Moon was approaching Venus on 25 January 2012 (Photo 1 and 2).

Photo 1 (17.27pm)

Photo 2 (18.01pm)

Then on 26 January the Moon got very close to Venus (Photos 3 and 4)

Photo 3 (17.32pm)

Photo 4 (19.00pm)

A few days later, on 30 January 2012, the Moon got close to Jupiter (Photo 5, 22:04pm)
