In this image one can clearly see where the constellations are located. Most importantly, one can see the summer triangle, which is highlighted in orange. The stars that make up this triangle are Vega, Deneb, and Altair. This summer triangle can be seen throughout the summer near midnight from various different locations. A fun fact is that, even though from our point of view we see a triangle, these star are actually thousands of light years away, which means that the triangle is shaped only from Earth.
