Venus in phase in daylight at the shadow of centennial trees with a Nikon camera only.

Venus is so bright that you can see it easly in daylight too if you know where to find it. So, measuring the right angolar distance from the Sun with my hands I found it with a binoculars. Then I point it with my camera to take some shots and some videos.

It was very spectacular its vision at the binoculars among the brances of these centennial trees so popular in Naples. Venus' phase in this period is so wokderful in fact.

In this collage you can see Venus near the Pinus Canariensis located in the Orto Botanico, here its video: http://www.unsaltonelcielo.it/venere-allombra-del-monumentale-pino-delle-canarie-dellorto-botanico-di-napoli/

And here Venus next to the centennial Camphor tree located in the Bosco of Capodimonte:

With these videos from the foot of a tree I reach the cosmos in broad daylight showing what even simple binoculars can do.
