Beach and the Milky Way

A photo composite. From the photographer: “Xiapu, an ordinary coastal county in China but with a very long coastline (about 480 km). The coastal landscape is fascinating and easy to find a dark place for night sky photography. I took this photo (composite of 2 images) with iso 400, 100s for the ground and iso 800, 180s for the sky (500d & tokina 11-16 at 11mm f3.5).”
