No, We Are Not Alone! - a photo on Flickriver

            As always, when post-processing Milky Way shots, I end-up being impressed by the endless stars out there. So many that they look like clouds. So many that you can even see some through the trees branches... And when you think that the Milky Way is just one of an endless number of galaxies in the universe… The inevitable feeling is that there has got to be some form of sentient life somewhere! Due to the unimaginably long travel time, we aren’t (and most certainly won’t) become aware of their existence (and vice-versa), but “aliens” certainly do exist somewhere out there…
*********
This Milky Way shot was taken last month in Alentejo (Portugal), near the Monsaraz village.
