The World at Night project
Reaching for the stars under one of the darkest skies left on Earth; Paranal Observatory in Atacama Desert, Chile.
Nothing like the view of the Milky Way in a natural night sky, away from citylights, the beauty I enjoyed exploring for 25 years, since December 1992 when I started night sky photography during a lunar eclipse. It was a total failure which revealed the 14yr old boy, how challenging and exciting is astrophotography. I found a new hobby to release my teenagehood endless energy outdoor in nature, never knew this will be my way of life, taking me to all continents for many sleepless nights under stars.
Follow me @babaktafrshi to see more wonders of night.
