Lencois night

A serene nocturnal scene unfolds as gnarled driftwood emerges from calm waters under a vast, star-filled sky. The Milky Way arches diagonally across the deep blue expanse, casting a soft glow over the silhouetted branches and distant dunes. The stillness of the water mirrors the quiet grandeur of the cosmos, creating a powerful contrast between earth and sky. This long-exposure photograph, captured in the Lencois Maranhenses region, highlights the region’s unique blend of desert and lagoon ecosystems under the celestial canopy. The image evokes a sense of timelessness and solitude, inviting viewers to contemplate the universe’s scale. Photographer Daniil Korzhonov masterfully balances natural elements with cosmic wonder.
