Wait, is this real? Or is it something from a dream. Well, I think it's both. This entrancing image was taken just before sunrise on a snowy slope in Switzerland. You've got blankets of clouds covering the small town of Balzers, Liechtenstein. The peaks of the Alps pop far to the right, along with a crescent moon and bright Venus. I'm just imagining the majesty of being the there the moment this photograph was taken. It'd be a truly beautiful experience. I guess this post isn't entirely astronomy related, but it sure is pretty.
