Explanation:
Ice
is forming on the river Lielupe as it flows through the
landscape
in this winter's night scene.
Even in motion the frigid water still reflects a starry sky, though.
The well planned,
Orion-centered
panorama looks toward the south,
taken in three exposures from a bridge near the
village of Stalgene, Latvia,
planet
Earth.
Drifting pancakes of ice leave streaks in the long exposures,
while familiar stars of Orion and the northern winter night
appear above and below the horizon.
Village lights along the horizon include skyward beams from the
local community church.
This image was a first place winner in the 2018 StarSpace
astrophotography competition.
