Orion over Arosa - a photo on Flickriver

Orion over Arosa

            After a rather cloudy day in my favorite ski resort, the clouds suddenly parted and gave way to the star filled skies above the mountain village Arosa in Switzerland. So I grabbed my gear and headed outside. As I did not trust the weather to stay clear for long, I set up in right front of our apartment.

After a busy day of skiing, the snowcats were grooming the slopes and nicely lighting the opposite mountainside with their high intensity lights.
