Orion Rising

Taking a inspect in direction of the east in the early hours of a September morning this single exposure made with tripod and camera captured a straightforward visible expertise. Rising above the tree-lined slope are familiar stars in planet Earth’s northern night and the constellation Orion the Hunter. Brighter stars marking the celestial Hunter’s shoulder (Betelgeuse), foot (Rigel), belt, and sword are clearly reflected in the light waters from northern Latvia’s Vitrupe river. Needless to claim, cool climate is coming to planet Earth’s northern hemisphere. By then Orion and this stunning starry vista will be seen rising in early evening skies.
