About this image

Had an amazing trip to a village in southern Morocco called Timgdurt, at the foot of Aklim mountain, the highest mountain in the Anti-Atlas range.

Watching Scorpius and the Milky Way rising from behind the mountain was breath-taking. You can watch a timelapse video on this link: Scorpius Rising
