Galaxy Rising

A beautiful scenery of Milky Way galaxy rising over the horizon. Luckily, the moon was just rising inside the torii gate.

This was the first day of the season to photograph the Milky Way in this year. I had been waiting patiently in the dark for it to rise, and the galaxy began to rise slowly from the eastern sky. It had been a long time since we had seen each other and I was very excited. I just got carried away with taking pictures for a while. Then, it began to brighten beyond the horizon gradually. I realized the moon was starting to rise, so I decided to end the shoot because the Milky Way would be invisible under the influence of the moonlight. And as I began to pack my equipment, I saw the moon just entering the torii gate! I restarted shooting hurriedly.

The scenery I had witnessed is just beauty of this world overflowing with light. I received a wonderful gift from the universe.
