Description
The Milky Way rises above the abandoned cemetery at Milluni, a Bolivian village near La Paz that used to be an important tin mining centre. The mine was abandoned in the 1990s; with the rise in mineral prices it has been partially reopened by a cooperative in the last few years. The mountain in the background is Huayna Potosi (6088m / 19,975ft), a popular peak with climbers. Look closely and you can see a shooting star to the left of the Milky Way above the peak!
