According to Sora News 24, the Milky Way is one of Zaki’s favourite subjects to take a picture of. Which is evidently magnificent as you can see from the images that he captured on the rural Goto island chain.

Truly breathtaking, right? These photos, we dare say, are comparable to those sceneries that can be found in anime.
The man also captures beautiful images of summer clouds.

And even a stunning image of a vapor trail during sunset closely resembles a scene from the anime movie, Kimi no Na wa (Your Name).
