 
This photograph shoes the familiar Large and Small Magellanic
Clouds with sharp silhouettes of foreground trees, giving the
photograph perspective and scale. The feel of the image is
representative of what an observer sees under the dark skies of
the Western Australian Wheatbelt region. A hint of the Milky
Way, which extends out to the right of frame, is shown in the
bottom left.
The Magellanic Clouds are galaxies that
orbit around our own Milky Way galaxy. This picture, having the
Magellanic Clouds and stars from our own Milky Way shows a depth
of approximately 160,000 light years.
As with all our photographs, prints of the Orion Nebula come
signed individually by the photographer and professionally
printed on archival stock.
