Moon and Mercury Over a Muragghiu

A photo composite of multiple exposures. From the photographer: “The “Muragghi” are typical of the area of Ragusa (Sicily). They are accumulations of stones that were no longer used for the construction of dry stone walls that delimited the land or that came from their stone removal. They were accumulated in artistic form and the more valuable the manufacture was, the more prestige  obtained the owner of the land. Some of them date back to 500/600 years ago. Move the slider on the image to recognize Mercury.”
