Kazakhstan

Under a vast, rotating sky, star trails spiral around the celestial pole, painting streaks of blue, purple, and gold across the night. Below, two towering rock spires rise from the desert floor, their silhouettes etched in cool moonlight. The foreground reveals textured sand and scattered boulders, adding depth to the surreal scene. This long-exposure masterpiece, captured by Daniil Korzhonov, blends geology and astronomy into a single, breathtaking moment. The stillness of the earth contrasts with the dynamic motion of the stars, evoking both timelessness and wonder.
