A great scenery of Milky Way galaxy over a river stream. This photo is taken in Achi-mura in Nagano Prefecture which is known as the place with the most beautiful starry sky in Japan. The Milky Way, rising vertically, seemed to pour water into the river. The scene was so beautiful that I even thought that maybe the water on this planet was made from the light of each tiny star. The beauty of the starry sky in the pitch black darkness is a memory that will stay with me for a lifetime.
