Earth Is An Exotic Alien Planet

For me it was love at first sight of this epiphany-inducing photograph captured in 2012 in the Quiver Tree Forest near Keetmanshoop, Namibia, by professional photographer Florian Breuer. Note: those are quiver trees which appear exotic to me if not downright otherworldly. Also note this is clearly a panoramic picture as the Milky Way is bent over which should be a dead giveaway.
