A photo of a night sky FULL of stars over a snowy Mount Hood in Oregon. Only a few exposures of black rock on the mountain's ridgelines are visible. The mountainside facing forward is partially lit by the glow from the metro area of Portland, OR, a fair distance away. The glow in the sky right behind the mountain is from the main ski area, Timberline. Trees in the forest below the mountain, and around the lake are only dark silhouettes. The reflection from the lake below is scattered and subtle because the lake is frozen over. I was not expecting that because this lake doesn't freeze often.
Late #Stunday post!
Been busy today, but here's #MountHood, #Oregon, under a star filled sky, over a frozen #LostLake!
I went for the night sky and planets, forgot some equipment, an icy road, and a couple feet of snow! #📷 #scape #ECK #Stars #Winter #MountainMonday #snow #astro #nature #hiking
