Explanation:
Both land and sky were restless.
The unsettled land included
erupting Mount Semeru
in the distance, the caldera of
steaming Mount Bromo on
the left,
flowing fog,
and the lights of moving cars along roads that thread between
hills and volcanoes in
Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in
East Java,
Indonesia.
The stirring sky
included stars circling the
South Celestial Pole and a
meteor streaking across the image right.
The above 270-image
composite
was taken from
King Kong Hill
in mid-June over two hours, with a rising
Moon lighting the landscape.
