The Milky Way is seen in the night sky over rocks in the White Desert north of the
The Milky Way is seen in the night sky over rocks in the White Desert north of the Farafra Oasis southwest of Cairo May 15, 2015. The White Desert, about 500 km southwest of the Egyptian capital Cairo, features limestone and chalk forms strangely shaped by the wind and sand, a terrain that gains in intensity when illuminated by the moon. Slightly to the north lies the Black Desert, given its name by the volcanic rock dolerite, similar to basalt. Four-by-four and trekking trips for tourists include Bedouin music around campfires and nights slept under a breathtaking array of stars. Picture taken May 15, 2015.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Milky Way illuminating the night sky above the unique rock formations in Egypt's White Desert. The limestone and chalk rocks, sculpted by wind and sand over time, create a surreal landscape that becomes even more intense when bathed in moonlight. Just north of this enchanting desert lies the Black Desert, named after its volcanic rock dolerite. Tourists visiting this remote location can embark on thrilling four-by-four and trekking trips, immersing themselves in Bedouin music around campfires while gazing at an awe-inspiring array of stars. With no signs of human presence captured in this image, it highlights nature's untouched splendor against a backdrop of multiple galaxies. The composition captures both Earth's natural wonders and our connection to the vastness of space. The photograph invites viewers to escape from their daily routines and immerse themselves in the breathtaking atmosphere created by these celestial bodies. It serves as a reminder that there is so much more beyond our planet waiting to be explored. Amr Dalsh skillfully captures this picturesque scene with creative use of lighting, showcasing not only the grandeur of nature but also evoking a sense of tranquility found under such starry skies. This image celebrates both astronomy enthusiasts' fascination with our solar system and those seeking solace amidst the great outdoors.
