The Paepalanthus is a rare wildflower found only in some parts of
Cerrado Vegetation (Brazilian savanah). The mountains in the background
are the Whale and Buraco hills. I used painted light in the foreground and
waited for the best time to capture the arc of the Milky Way. These
wildflowers are my favourite for astrophotography because they remind
me of the blast of the Big Bang and their petals are white, like the stars.
