Above?!?

When I observed them, Venus was above Saturn. Upstream, Matthew Ota's
picture also shows this relationship.

Color me confused.

I don't know what you were looking at, but Saturn has been above Venus
for a long time, it was above it on Saturday, and remains above it
tonight (Jul 2). Sometime tomorrow they will have the same altitude, and
then for a few weeks Venus will be higher.

Matthew's picture is clearly rotated. Check the images on Spaceweather,
such as this:

for examples of what you should have seen.
