Young moon paired with Mercury as they were setting over the Pacific Ocean

I was lucky to catch a pairing of young moon (1% illuminated) with Mercury in the clearing over the Western horizon before the clouds closed in. Saturn already set in by this time but it was already obstructed by the low clouds when the moon popped up in the view. The photo was taken from Beacon's Beach in Encinitas, California.
