Milky Way over Desert Rock Near Riyadh

Cold moonlight washes the jagged desert rock formation in pale blue tones, setting it against the deep black of the midsummer night sky. The Milky Way stretches across the frame as a dense band of starlight, unbroken by clouds. A small, warm fire burns at the base of the rocks, casting flickering orange light that reveals the rough, sandy texture of the stone and the shadows pooling in its crevices. The horizon glows faintly from the distant city of Riyadh, creating a thin line of ambient light beneath the vast celestial display. The firelight dances across the foreground, illuminating loose gravel and the silhouette of the rocks before fading into the cool, star-filled darkness above.
