Orion Rising

Explanation: Looking toward the east in the early hours of a September morning this single exposure made with tripod and camera captured a simple visual experience. 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 calm waters from northern Latvia's Vitrupe river. Of course, winter is coming to planet Earth's northern hemisphere. By then Orion and this beautiful starry vista will be seen rising in early evening skies.

猎户座东升

9月的一个早晨，摄影师使用三脚架和相机，朝向东方拍摄了这幅单曝光影像，它呈现了一次简单的视觉体验。在图像中，北半球夜空中熟悉的恒星和猎户座从绿树成荫的山坡上升起。在拉脱维亚北部维特鲁普河的平静水面上，清晰地倒映着多颗明亮的恒星，它们分别标志着天空中猎户的肩膀（参宿四）、脚（参宿七）、腰带和剑。当然，地球北半球的冬天就要来到了。到那时，猎户座和这片星光灿烂的夜空景象将在傍晚的天空中清晰可见。
