This image shows you a panorama view of dawn skies in north to east direction captured at a highland in August. You can see the Zodiacal light stretched from the Gemini in a bit right of center, and the 26-aged dawn moon and the Venus are paralleling in the light. In that day, the citylights under our eyes were hidden in the sea of clouds; I was blessed with the splendid summery night skies.
