Stargazer's Dome

A few nights ago, I climbed up to the rooftop of this traditional Iranian house in complete darkness, just to capture this photo. It was around midnight, and I had planned it in advance — I even brought a star filter lens with me to make distant lights appear like shining stars. The frame was exposed for about 30 seconds to allow enough light into the camera and reveal the hidden beauty of the scene. The colored glass, the brickwork, and the soft light dancing around the dome created a magical atmosphere. It felt like the silence of the night had been gently carved into this image.
