      Description

      @max.nti

      Orion is a summertime constellation for us here in the Southern Hemisphere, but you can spot it before dawn as early as spring. After a light coat of fresh snow covered the mountain peaks, I went out to capture the 'summer sky' over a wintry foreground.

      This region of the sky is rich with hydrogen gas clouds, glowing red from the energy of nearby massive stars—a stark contrast to the icy blue of the glacial lake below.
