Gobi Nights

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

From the photographer: “A magnificent starry night of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, no less than 80 miles of the nearest small village and hundreds of miles away from a city. No light pollution of any kind, the milky way was raising from the very bottom of the sky at the deserts flat horizon. It was the perfect place for us to camp on our extreme cycling journey across this remote part of the country.”
