Description and Details: This star trail photograph was captured in Bozhira, located in the Mangystau Region of Kazakhstan, a land of dramatic cliffs and otherworldly landscapes. As the Earth slowly rotated, the stars carved luminous trails across the night sky, circling above Bozhira’s iconic rock formations. The vast silence and untouched nature of this remote location created ideal conditions for night photography. Using my Canon R6, I carefully documented the movement of the cosmos, blending the timeless beauty of the stars with the ancient geology below, revealing a powerful connection between Earth and sky in this remarkable place.
