Default Orion
The sky was cloudless yesterday...as I was sitting in the car and happened to look up, guess what I saw . I couldn't wait to get home and draw the camera out..

It's sad that as we grow up, we somehow lose that fascination and curiosity we had as kids and get caught up in our daily grind and city life....the stars are trying to tell us something..step back once in a while, look at the big picture and be amazed by the simple beauties that surround us..

Original:
IMG_2485-1

I can recognize the seven stars of Orion, but please feel free to point out/ mark out other stars/constellations in these pics.

A little PS work for curve adjustment and Paint for drawing connecting lines:

It came out well.
Look for Betelgeuse on the upper left shoulder; rigel on right foot.The Orion nebula is the tip of the sword.
