Wilsons Promontory is a place of untouched beauty, and under the cover of night, away from any significant light pollution, its skies become a canvas for astronomical wonders. On this particular clear night, I ventured to a secluded spot along the Prom's coastline, specifically seeking to align the vastness of the Milky Way with the powerful, enduring presence of the granite rocks. As the hours passed, the core of our galaxy rose higher, a luminous river of stars stretching across the dark heavens. I framed the shot through a natural opening created by two massive boulders, which seemed to form a cosmic gateway to the distant beach and the starlit ocean beyond. The long exposure not only revealed the intricate details of the Milky Way's dust lanes and star clusters but also subtly illuminated the rugged textures of the ancient rocks and the soft glow on the horizon from the distant, untouched landscape. "Promontory's Cosmic Gateway" is more than a photograph; it's an immersive experience of solitude and wonder, inviting you to witness the timeless beauty of our universe from one of Victoria's most cherished natural sanctuaries.
