After dark, the area is deserted, with rocky terrain reminiscent of an apocalyptic movie, giving the feeling of being on Mars. As someone who enjoys astrophotography, I captured a high-definition, complete Milky Way here all by myself. The combination of the unique terrain and the Milky Way creates a dreamlike and stunning spatial experience. I was incredibly excited when I took the photos. This is my fifth visit in a year.
