It doesn’t look real. It is a picture like I’ve never seen. The rocks look striated. It’s beautiful.

I do believe this is the best scene of the Milky Way and earth combined this person has ever gazed upon. The river in the depths of the rock faces, the rich deep tones in the rocks and then that burst of light in the heavens is mesmerizing. This is magic Alex.

Beautiful and magnificent! and then you see the tiny efforts down by the river -it’s people , and all their clutter- hotels, boats,….aint we small!!

Thanks people!
John, those are just rocks in and around the river. Very barren down there, and the whole scene is probably not as large as it may have looked to you initially.
