Explanation:
Does the road to our galaxy's center go through
Monument Valley?
It doesn't have to, but if your road does -- take a picture.
In this case, the road is
US Route 163
and iconic buttes on the
Navajo National
Reservation populate the horizon.
The band of Milky Way Galaxy stretches down from the sky and appears to be a
continuation of the road on
Earth.
Filaments of dust darken the
Milky Way, in contrast to
billions of bright stars and several
colorful glowing gas clouds including the
Lagoon and
Trifid nebulas.
The featured picture is a composite of images
taken with the same camera and from the same location --
Forest Gump Point in
Utah,
USA.
The foreground was taken just after sunset in early September during the
blue hour,
while the background is a mosaic of four exposures captured a few hours later.
