Along the Kilimanjaro Trail

Good afternoon, everyone! I just wanted to share this image I took at the second camp along the Machame route, while hiking to the summit of Kilimanjaro. While I did get many other milky way images, this one is probably my favorite. After exiting the bathroom, I looked to the left and saw these trees and the milky way perfectly framed between them. Had to snag a few images of it. I've never seen the milky way more bright than on the mountain.
I'm still new to astrophotography, so CC is welcome.
Shot with my Fuji X-T20 and a Samyang 12mm f2.0.
