The photographer meticulously aligned the sky and foreground from the same location and at the same time, ensuring a seamless integration of both elements. The result is a breathtaking composition where a field of corn acts as a natural frame for the vast expanse of the cosmos above. It's a beautiful reminder of how connected we are to the universe, even when standing on familiar ground.
