The galactic core arcing across the sky above a dark mountain ridge, captured as a panorama so the full span of the arch fits in one frame. The land is reduced to silhouette beneath it.

Long-exposure astrophotography with the stars held as points rather than trails, and enough dynamic range that the dust lanes through the core stay visible.
