Last Man Standing

A Notable Photo of the 2015 International Earth & Sky Photo Contest

From the photographer: “The very top of Peterskoepfl in Zillertal is famous for it´s cairns. I found a very large one who looked like a soldier amidst a battlefield full of fallen warriors. My last man standing was gazing at the stars above him and the bow of the Milky Way gave a perfect frame to emphasize that feeling.”
