"Galactic Ghosts"
The small island of Bonaire in the southern Carribean has a wonderful lack of light pollution which makes it ideal for Milky Way photography.
This location is on the southern point of the island where slaves once harvested sea salt under brutal conditions. The obelisk was a marker for the ships that would anchor to pick up the salt and the tiny concrete huts in the background were for the slaves and their families.
It is a peaceful spot now, you will probably won't see another soul there at night, but sometimes I wonder if the ghosts of the past are next to me taking in the magnificent view of the Milky Way.
