Contrasting
the Seven Sisters in the sky are the Seven Strong Men on the ground,
which are located just west of the Ural Mountains. The unusual
Manpupuner rock formations are one of the Seven Wonders of Russia.
How these ancient 40-meter high pillars formed is yet unknown. The
persistent photographer of this featured image battled rough terrain
and uncooperative weather to capture these rugged stone towers in
winter at night, finally getting the shot in February of last year.
Utilizing the camera's time delay feature, the photographer holds a
flashlight in the foreground near one of the snow-covered pillars.
High above, millions of stars shine down, while the band of our Milky
Way Galaxy crosses diagonally down from the upper left.
