Cosmic carvings

Jordi L. Coy from Seville, Spain

The Milky Way lies above petroglyphs in Chile’s Valle del Encanto, carved a millennium ago by people of the culture known as El Molle. The photographer captured the scene with a Canon DSLR and zoom lens at 14mm and f/2.8, taking a 60-second sky exposure and a 20-second foreground exposure.
