The Dead Kokerboom and the Galaxy — Gannabos

In the darkness of the Northern Cape, far from any city light, the Milky Way reveals itself in full glory. Here at Gannabos — home of the largest quiver tree forest in the Southern Hemisphere — a dead kokerboom stands illuminated against the sweep of the galaxy, its bleached skeletal branches reaching toward the stars it has watched for centuries.

There is a profound stillness to this image. Life and death, ancient earth and infinite cosmos, held together in a single frame. This is night photography at its most powerful.
