Yuri Beletsky Nightscapes calls this photo Twilight Dream.

Have you ever woken up from a dream and the view was still there? Here is our vista in the morning from a remote house at the outskirts of San Pedro de Atacama in the northern Chile. Venus is shining high in the sky, and gorgeous volcanos shape the twilight landscape.. I hope you’ll enjoy the view!

Thank you, Yuri!
