The Milky Way over Sea Caves

A Notable Photo of the 2015 International Earth & Sky Photo Contest

From the photographer: “An Arching Milky Way over sea caves at Pellegrin Point, limits of Ġnejna, Malta. This enchanted stretch of coastline will never seize to amaze me! After capturing the Pellegrin Point image, I set it a goal to shoot a panorama from a further point out so that I can fit both caves in the composition. The arching Milky Way and sloping shores complement each other forming an elliptical shape in the image giving it balance and making it more dynamic. It reminds us also of the spiral nature of our home Galaxy.”
