From Astronomy Picture of the Day, Milky Way Over Abandoned Kilns by Tom McEwan.
McEwan shot some historic kilns in rural Nevada, stitching together a panoramic "digital conglomerate of five separate images taken in early June from the same location. Visible above the unusual kilns is a colorful star field, highlighted by the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy appearing along a diagonal toward the lower right."
Beautiful.
