Milky Way Over Monument Valley

SPECTACULAR photograph of the Milky Way galaxy arching over the otherworldly rock formations of Monument Valley on the Arizona-Utah border, the iconic sandstone buttes and mesas silhouetted as deep black shapes against the star-filled sky, thousands of visible stars and the galactic core glowing in warm amber and cool blue tones, a faint green airglow band near the horizon, the Navajo sacred landscape rendered in deep indigo and burnt sienna by the starlight alone, a single campfire providing a tiny warm orange glow near the base of a mesa, astrophotography masterpiece with 25-second tracked exposure.
