Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya. In The Setting Scene, Venus Can Be Seen Peeking Over The Clouds. 

As promised, here is a comic about the brightest star in the northern Hemisphere: Sirius! Sirius B will be shown in future comics as 2018 is year of the dog and since Sirius is the dog star, it is year of the Sirius!

Enjoy!
