Beneath a veil of drifting clouds, the Milky Way rises quietly above the ocean. The rocks, worn smooth by endless waves, now rest in silence as starlight and sea mist blur the boundary between earth and sky. In this image, time seems suspended—the stars frozen in a moment, the sea softened into stillness. It is a scene that evokes both awe and tranquility, reminding us that even in the darkest hours, the universe continues to breathe, calmly and infinitely.
