Sky – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Light in the Dark

We arose early one morning to complete our walk prior to scheduled appointments. At the beginning, Orion blazed brightly in the darkness, but as night faded into the predawn twilight, the constellation seemed to gradually dim against the brightening sky.
