Frame by Sakhr

Here is an abstraction for Almahajja Mount and the Milky Way appears between its borders. It is one simple shot under the moonlight with the settings described below. Almahajja Mount consists of sandstone from the age of ancient life (Paleozoic) or the first geological time (Cambrian, Silurian and Ordovician). Its fragile structure allowed long-term weathering of especially the fourth era (Pleistocene and Holocene) to carve and erode it, thus giving it its present form. Wind had a strong effect in periods of drought in the region. The state of adjacent terrain indicates that weathering had a strong effect, turning it into rubble and dilapidated forms of great beauty and magnificence. I hope you all like it :) via 500px http://ift.tt/1vOdgch

Milky Way Gateway by Matt-Payne

This was pretty much just an experiment using a lot of images for the star trails and then blending back in the Milky Way. I'm not crazy about it, but I put too much work into it not to share it somewhere. Hope you 'sort of' like it, like me. The star trail sequence used about 120 photos, layered in photoshop. I used a sequentially decreasing opacity to give the star trails a tapered meteor feel. I then layered back in one of the Milky Way stills. via 500px http://ift.tt/1wo5Myw

Celestial blanket by Adhemar_Duro

Like a celestial blanket the Milky Way forms an arc high above the antennas of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submilimeter Array. This arc is caused by the panoramic view of the image.

Thank you for all the support! Many thanks for all the ALMA employees, who work in a very challenging habitat, and to my great friend René Vek Duran Barreiro (http://ift.tt/1y4R8a8)! via 500px http://ift.tt/1w8nUf3

The Vola hut by espenhaagensen

The milky way above the Vola hut in the Voss mountains. The Vola hut is a self service hut owned by Voss Utferdslag, a subsidiary of Turistforeningen. It is located in the Voss/Stølsheimen mountain range. We started in Bavallen and skied over Lønahorgi to Volahytten. via 500px http://ift.tt/1AWzgo7
