Saguaro Cacti Under Milky Way Near Casablanca

Tall saguaro cacti rise vertically from dry desert soil, their pale green columns marked by deep vertical ribs and sharp spines. Above, the Milky Way stretches across a pitch-black sky, dense with stars and a faint band of cosmic dust. A low haze glows softly on the distant horizon, suggesting a far-off light source or atmospheric moisture. The ground beneath the cacti is dark and textured with small rocks and sparse dry grass. Starlight illuminates the upper surfaces of the cactus arms while shadows pool in the crevices between ribs. The composition places the tallest cactus near the left third line, balancing the vast celestial expanse on the right. A faint, cool reflection of starlight glimmers on the waxy skin of the nearest cactus arm.
