Narcissistic Orion

Oh I don't know, maybe Orion was just "pond-ering" his existence in quiet reflection. ;-)))

This image also clearly shows the Sirius star and the Pleiades Star Cluster rising above Greeley's light pollution.

Notes: Single 30 second exposure at 1600 ISO, f/3.2. It's interesting to me that the star streaks are more apparent/longer in the reflection than the sky.
