Story Behind The Image –

It was a long trip to the south of Iran. We were on our 5th day of travel and we decided to go to the Larak island. Larak island was known because of its beautiful beach that in the day time, the sands of the beach shine like the sun. it was so true and so beautiful but we really surprised by the night sky of Larak Island. We camped on the beach and stayed in our one million star hotel for two days. I was so lucky for being there for taking this shot.
