Auriga and Perseus rise on city lights in haze of Saku city in Nagano prefecture. I took this picture at one of pastures in central highland of Japan.
The day was unexpectedly blessed with fine weather; I enjoyed eastern constellations beyond the pasture. A thick and red trail is the dawn moon with age of 25. The amount of water vapor in lower skies was comparatively high; a spooky reddish light was glittered.
