Explanation:
Sometimes a morning sky can be a combination of serene and surreal.
Such a sky perhaps existed before sunrise this past Sunday as viewed
from a snowy slope in eastern
Switzerland.
Quiet clouds blanket the above scene, lit from beneath by lights from the village
of
TrÝbbach.
A snow covered mountain,
Mittlerspitz, poses dramatically
on the upper left, hovering over the small town of
Balzers,
Liechtenstein far below.
Peaks from the
Alps
can be seen across the far right, just below the freshly
rising Sun.
Visible on the upper right are the
crescent Moon and the bright planet
Venus.
Venus will remain in the
morning sky all month, although it will likely not be found in such a photogenic
setting.
Poll:
Which of last week's APODs should be the APOW?
