Unearthly

6 hours of star trails exposed on Provia 100F film with Mamiya RB67 medium format camera and Sekor C 50mm lens. Exposure started 4 hours before moonrise and the next two hours of moon used to lit the foreground.

Location is in Eastern Rhodope Mountain, Bulgaria. Those two niches on the rock formation are man-made, carved thousands of years ago. Such niches can be seen on megaliths throughout the Eastern Rhodope Mountain. The most commonly spread theory is that these niches are tombs. Other theories suggest that they are religious artifacts or some king of maps to significant places. Scientists still argue about their purpose and origin. There are speculations of a Thracian origin but others believe they are more than 7,000 years old which rules out this theory.

Colors are authentic.

Thanks for looking!
