Milky Way Over Bulgarian Construction Template Board

Thick white mist rests on the damp earth of a taped-off excavation edge in late autumn Bulgaria. A wooden door hardware template board stands upright in the foreground, its grain dusted with gray soil. Unfinished glazing frames the background, allowing bright midmorning light to flood the site. Through this transparent void, the impossible Milky Way arches sharply across a pale blue sky, its star clusters distinct and vivid despite the daylight. Tapes mark the excavation boundaries, creating leading lines that guide the view toward the celestial ribbon. The wood surface shows tool marks and pencil measurements, against the ethereal glow of the galaxy above. One dust mote settles on a pencil line near the bottom edge.
