Michelle Gapes, Celestial serenity (SINGLE SHOT 2024)

The breathtaking and awe-inspiring night sky over Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake in Tasmania. The mountain stands under a canopy of stars, where the Milky Way stretches majestically across the sky, its luminous band shimmering against the deep darkness. Reflected in the tranquil waters of Dove Lake, the celestial display creates a mesmerising symmetry between land and sky. The rugged silhouette of Cradle Mountain stands proudly in the background, illuminated by the soft glow of starlight. Few are able to experience the tranquility of the Tasmanian wilderness at night which evokes a sense of wonder and connection to the cosmos. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and vastness of our universe, encouraging us to explore the night and appreciate the natural wonders that surround us.
