For those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, there are two major shapes in the Norther Hemisphere in the stars - the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper - basically a isosceles trapezoid "cup" (4 stars) and a curved "handle". I'm not sure which one, but one of them is standing on its handle in the upper 2/3, right 1/3 of the shot - forming what also looks like a question mark - hence the title.

Nice shot of the stars but the trees overpower the sky and take my eye away from the subject.

Looks like a ice cream dipper to me! Looks like the branches are a little funny, but I like this image.
