Caption (English) Beneath starlight that began its journey countless years ago, I stood before an ancient landscape that has endured far beyond any human lifetime. As the Milky Way rose above the silent mountains, I felt as though different scales of time were converging into a single moment. The encounter between the distant cosmos, the enduring earth, and my own fleeting presence filled me with awe. Completely absorbed by the scene before me, I released the shutter instinctively, hoping to preserve even a fragment of that timeless feeling.
