Enjoy the southern skies, M’lord!

I suspect that these two photos represent the last time I’ll be able to shoot Orion the Hunter for this season. When I took these it was still probably 30-45 minutes to full dark, and with Orion this high in the sky, he would have been close to setting behind the local apartment buildings by the time the sky would have been black. Soon he’ll be gone, not to grace my skies again until next fall. Alas!

This is actually the same photo, with two different edits. I couldn’t decide which edit I liked better, and then I thought, “Who said I have to choose?”
