A Tuscan Midsummer Night

From the photographer: “Lucciole di notte – Lightning bugs of the night. A silent glimmering along the dark hillsides, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas and the gentle murmuring of the surrounding poderi, magical and fascinating. An enchanted dance of love resembling a melody for the eyes. A midsummer night’s dream beyond time — the golden moment for a longing photographer.

An overwhelming scene, further heightened by the rising Milky Way in the background — offering a rare opportunity to capture two nocturnal highlights in a single image: the bioluminescent and stellar light of the Tuscan countryside.”
