   Explanation: First came the trees. In the town of [5]Salamanca,
   [6]Spain, the photographer noticed how distinctive a grove of [7]oak
   trees looked after being [8]pruned. Next came the galaxy. The
   photographer [9]stayed up until 2 am, waiting until the [10]Milky Way
   Galaxy rose above the level of a majestic looking oak. From this
   carefully chosen perspective, [11]dust lanes in the galaxy appear to be
   natural continuations to branches of the tree. Last came the light. A
   [12]flashlight was used on the far side of the tree to project a
   [13]silhouette. By coincidence, other trees also appeared as similar
   [14]silhouettes across the relatively bright horizon. The [15]featured
   image was captured as a single 30-second frame in 2015 and processed to
   digitally enhance the Milky Way.
