Hope

Photographed by Ann Chavtur

Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. My goal was to capture the bright light of Jupiter by over exposing the planet so it would be a large star burst in the sky and create the Christmas Star that everyone was anticipating. With fresh snow on the Rocky Mountains and Pikes Peak reflecting the moon light the picture gives a sense of hope in a world that seems to be spinning out of control.
