The Star Friend in the Stubble Field

From the photographer: “There he stands, the star friend, letting himself be enchanted by the starry sky. It’s summer everywhere around him. Below his feet a typical summer cultural landscape with stubble fields and bales of straw, and above him the cultural asset of the starry sky. Here the center of the Milky Way with the expansive constellation of Sagittarius can be seen in the summer firmament. This area of ​​the sky is home to numerous star clusters and gas nebulae. On the right edge of the picture is Antares, the main star of Scorpio. The picture  shows a landscape near the community of Baldringen in the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.”
