The Milky Way Above Cathedral Cove

From the photographer: “Most people visit Cathedral Cove in New Zealand in daytime. Well, I decided to go there at night and for a good reason. That was my first contact with the southern skies and it was like being reborn from an astronomical point of view. It was not only the sky that amazed me that night, but also the sea. All the electric blue patches on the ocean are actually bioluminescence. This is a panorama stitched from 33 vertical images shot on three rows.” © Alex Conu
