Milky Way over the Drakensberg Amphitheatre

            Milky Way over the Drakensberg Amphitheatre, uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, South Africa. The alpine peaks of Eastern Buttress 3047m/10,000ft (L) and Sentinel 3165m/10,384ft (R) are dwarfed by the Milky Way in a super-wide-angle nightscape, framed with the lens pointed almost vertically upwards at the night sky. By day, these two ramparts are seen towering over the old Royal Natal National Park and bookending the mile-high cliffs of the Amphitheatre; somehow fitting then that by night they can appear so small beneath the cosmos. Nikkor 20-35/2.8 @ 20mm. 25s @ f/2.8, ISO 4000. Nikon D700. AJH_120517_8048
