It's enough to keep you awake at night: Photographer captures beauty of the Milky Way on midnight trek to beat insomnia. By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 10:53 GMT, 21 September 2011 A starry-eyed photographer has captured the beauty of the Milky Way above the Himalayan night sky - after taking a midnight walk due to insomnia.

Dedicated snapper Anton Jankovoy trekked up a staggering 15,000ft to reach a good vantage point to try and capture the perfect pictures. But after numerous attempts he failed to spot the amazing array of solar systems and stars he wanted to picture. Spectacular: These photos of the Milky Way above the Himalayas were taken by Anton Jankovoy on a midnight walk he took while unable to sleep Amazingly, however, the photographer chanced upon the phenomenal view after taking a late-night walk when he was unable to sleep.

One image shows the sprawling collection of stars, planets and solar systems hovering above the highest mountain range in the world. And another shows a guest house stayed in by Anton as he made his descent, with the Milky Way above the mountainside chalet. Photos: Tetrapod beaches of Japan. Near Tappi Saki, Aomori (Photo: Mr_M_Montgomery) Hit the beach anywhere in Japan, and you are likely to see endless piles of tetrapods -- enormous four-legged concrete structures intended to prevent coastal erosion. By some estimates, more than 50% of Japans 35,000-kilometer (22,000-mi) coastline has been altered with tetrapods and other forms of concrete.

Critics, who blame the tetrapod invasion on decades of excessive government spending designed to bolster the construction industry, argue that in addition to posing a danger to swimmers, surfers and boaters, tetrapods actually accelerate beach erosion by disrupting the natural processes that shape the coastal environment. Meanwhile, others have developed an aesthetic appreciation of the tetrapod landscape, as evidenced by a host of stunning Japanese tetrapod photos on Flickr.
