Limestone pillars

Image from the same night a week ago when we spent the entire night under the stars in this incredible desert landscape. Watching the sky light up with countless stars and distant galaxies is always mesmerizing. There's something truly special about being surrounded by ancient rock formations and the quiet of the night.

Those two faint smudges are the Small and the Large Magellanic Clouds, dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. They're both visible to the naked eye under dark skies in the southern hemisphere all year round.
