What are we observing in the sky here?
“A Stellar View From The Cave”
Saint Raphael, France
Framed by the rugged mouth of a coastal cave, this image captures the heart of the Milky Way rising over the Mediterranean Sea. Taken during the peak of the Galactic Core season last May, it blends the natural beauty of the foreground with the awe-inspiring vastness of the cosmos. A winding road, illuminated by passing cars, creates a dynamic trail of light that guides the eye toward the stars above.
This photo is a reminder that magic often hides in the most unexpected places. All it takes is a little patience, planning, and passion.
