The Milky Way appears over light domes of nearby towns in the World Heritage area of Hortobágy National Park in Eastern Hungary. The area is also designated as a Starry Sky Park by the International Dark Sky Association after the local efforts to protect the natural beauty of night sky in the area. The Hortobagy is the largest natural grassland in Europe but it is also known for its traditional T-shaped sweep wells which dot the landscape. TWAN founder Babak Tafreshi is captured here while imaging the night sky above this iconic landmark of Hortobagy.
