Description

A change of season, the horse head is back this year and finally a clear night! The distinct horse shape of the dark interstellar dust obscuring the rich ionized hydrogen behind is an amazing sight to see and reminds me that despite the challenges of the different seasons in life, The Lord of the cosmos who is much bigger than the universe is sovereign and welcomes us into his arms.
