Milky way Rising over the valley of Bela, Balochistan!

I had always wanted to create such a panoramic view of the milky way arch rising from the East and it had been on my bucket list for quite some time now. Bela is an ancient city in a historic track surrounded by hills above the Arabian Sea, and Taqwa Space Observatory is located at such a location where all these hills can be seen from the top of any nearby hill. I am glad that I climbed up that hill as it was a memorable trip and gave us so many beautiful sceneries and memories to cherish.
The Milky Way rising panorama is a reminder of the vastness and grand scale of our galaxy, a sight that leaves one in awe of the wonders of the night sky and it's hidden jewels
