In the night when I took this picture, a halfway point up to Mt. Fuji was suffered in high wind. The far clouds were moving violently, I captured the rising Orion showed his face from the clouds.
The light in lower skies is not dawn light but due to city lights from Tokyo district. The location is one of best star-gazing points near Tokyo. However, lower eastern skies are influenced with light pollution from the Metropolis directly.
