I'm wondering, living in a overly lightpoluted country as Belgium, can you really see this with the naked eye or is this just taken with high exposure?

Just so people know most of these types of pics are not an actual single photo. They usually take a long exposure of the sky alone and then merge that into the pic of the background. This is because doing long exposures on stars in the sky will absolutely blow out anything that isn't the sky such as trees or in this case the canyon walls.
