Orion up (River Place Park)

Woke. Needed a bio break. It was very quiet. Spotted Orion was over the treeline. Beautiful. Muted colours. Also saw a glow in the north-east. Seemed too early for dawn. Wondered if it was zodiacal light. Did I see an angled area, tilting to the right or south? Or was that wishful thinking? It was probably the Moon...
