Grace Lee, The alien Pinnacles Desert Galaxy and Star Track (PLACES WILDERNESS)

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies, Tongue tied and twisted just an earth bound misfit, I. This alien landscape. the extraordinary ancient rock formations that make up the Pinnacles which are located in the north of Perth near the coastal town of Cervantes. These amazing natural limestone structures, some standing as high as five meters, were formed approximately 25,000 to 30,000 years ago, after the sea receded and they were left deposits of sea shells. Over time, coastal winds removed the surrounding sand, leaving the pillars exposed to the elements. I won the WA trip package from Sydney Morning Herald as was selected as the best photo at 2018 Sydney Sculpture by the Sea held by SMH. So I invited Winnie (My photography friend who always goes on photo trips together) to be with me and it's really enjoyable trip! It was the last day on which we stayed in Western Australia before flying back to Sydney. We decided to go back to Pinnacles Desert where we had already visited when we first arrived in WA. We cancelled the paid hotel stay and airport transport service and stayed in Pinnacles Desert for the whole night with thousands of ancient rocks around..... That's an unforgettable night, we were there to watch the sunset; the galaxy and stars; the moon rise...it was very strong windy night too, if we were tired of photo shooting, we just went back to the rental car for a break.....This photo was taken before the moon rose, which lasted about 25 minutes. You can see the galaxy in star track. Many people can shoot high-definition starry sky photography, but often because of the strong taste of technology and technology, they seem to have no ingenuity. This slightly fuzzy starry sky is more dreamier and creates a fascinating mood. The blue concentric circles, deep and shallow, permeate the night sky and contrast with the yellow landscape of the earth, creating a vast and mysterious breath.
