The Galaxy Tree
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.
