The Sentinel Tree

A Notable Photo of the 2014 International Earth & Sky Photo Contest.

From the photographer: “The west coast is one of the most populated areas of Reunion Island. Here, a sea of ​​clouds diffuse the light of cities and offers a cozy bed in which the Milky Way will melt. On the left of the image, the remnant of a huge fire that devastated the region of Maïdo in 2011.”
