Explanation:
Gocka's, a family nickname for the mountain cabin,
and a wooden sled from a generation past stand quietly under the
stars.
The single exposure image was taken on
January 6 from
Tanndalen Sweden
to evoke a simple visual experience of the dark mountain skies.
A pale band of starlight along the Milky Way sweeps through the scene.
At the foot of Orion the Hunter, bright star Rigel shines just above the
old kicksled's handrail.
Capella, alpha star of Auriga the celestial charioteer,
is the brightest star at the top of the frame.
In fact, the familiar stars of the
winter hexagon and the
Pleiades star cluster can all be found in this beautiful
skyscape from a northern winter night.
