Our galactic core from the mountain of Mainalo, Arcadia, Greece, 2024
Milky Way
Really glad I drove all the way up to the mountain in August 2024 with my dad and took this photograph. Summers in Greece (especially in Peloponnese in August) are very warm even in the night, but up there in the mountain in Arcadia it was very cool and the stars and the deep sky treasures of our Milky Way are shining brilliantly and very clear.
