Mercury

Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet in the Solar System,[a] orbiting the Sun once every 87.969 Earth days. The orbit of Mercury has the highest eccentricity of all the Solar System planets, and it has the smallest axial tilt. It completes three rotations about its axis for every two orbits. The perihelion of Mercury's orbit precesses around the Sun at an excess of 43 arcseconds per century; a phenomenon that was explained in the 20th century by Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_(planet)

However, these photos were not taken on Mercury, a planet which I haven't visited - at least not yet. But Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini. Also, Mercurios is the name of a bar on Skopelos island where I ordered a double Irish whiskey, put a candle behind it and shot these photos. And yes, I did drink it afterwards.
