Explanation:
First came the trees.
In the town of
Salamanca,
Spain, the photographer noticed
how distinctive a grove of
oak trees
looked after being
pruned.
Next came the galaxy.
The photographer
stayed
up until 2 am, waiting until the
Milky Way Galaxy
rose above the level of a majestic looking oak.
From this carefully chosen perspective,
dust lanes in the galaxy
appear to be natural continuations to branches of the tree.
Last came the light.
A flashlight was used on the far side of the tree to project a
silhouette.
By coincidence, other trees also appeared as similar
silhouettes across the relatively bright horizon.
The featured image
was captured as a single 30-second frame in 2015
and processed to digitally enhance the Milky Way.
