Image taken in Atacama Desert.
Several days in a row photographing the night sky at the Atacama´s Desert. Great experience! In the moment I shot this picture I was alone, in the middle of nowhere, experimenting a scene that clearly looked like another world. The 33 feet sculpture 'Hand of the Desert ' helped to create an even more alien atmosphere. It was a unique photoshoot indeed.

It was already pass 4:00 AM and a certain tiredness knoked my door. I started packing since I still would had two hours drive ahead. Just before leaving, I looked back and saw this wonderful scene forming: the hand almost "touching" Eta Carinae nebulae and the Southern Cross constellation! What a view!
I pulled everything out and began the photographic process again, hoping to capture a unique view of our southern night skies, harmonizing with a gigantic sculpture.

What I liked most about this image is the pinkie almost "touching" Eta Carinae nebulae! 😁
