The Moon Rises in Starry Sky

A photo composite of multiple exposures. From the photographer: “Nestled within the sandy expanse of Inner Mongolia, a weather-beaten tree stands gracefully illuminated by the soft glow of moonlight and starlight as the moon ascends. The twisted trunk and protruding roots tell tales of its long journey through time. From its branches, intermittent whispers of birdsong echo, gently heralding the arrival of summer’s warmth to the vast landscape below.”
