Alto Alegre and The Milky Way

A series of wide-field Milky Way landscape images captured from a rural hilltop under relatively dark skies. The galactic plane stretches across the frame, revealing dense star fields and subtle dust structures, while distant city lights softly illuminate the horizon. The contrast between the quiet countryside and the vastness of the night sky was the main inspiration for this set. These images aim to preserve a natural color balance, highlighting the Milky Way without overpowering the foreground, keeping the scene as close as possible to what was visible to the naked eye.

Under a quiet countryside sky, the Milky Way rises above a simple wooden gate, connecting Earth and cosmos in the hills of Minas Gerais.

A dirt road cutting through rolling countryside leads toward the horizon as the Milky Way spreads across the night sky above Morro Alto Alegre, Jacutinga, MG.
