Night at Casa de San Martin
There are so few dark skies left in Spain, but we were fortunate to spend a week at one of them. Nestled in the Pyrenees mountains, Casa de San Martin is a 500-year-old church overlooking a spacious valley that has been converted into a luxurious bed & breakfast. During the day the song of birds is accompanied by a melody of cowbells orchestrated by the ever-present wandering herd. At night the world quiets, and one can sit and gaze at the enormity of the vast galaxy. We were blessed to be here during the new moon to capture images each night of the Milky Way. I shot this image on our final night as a gift to the owner of the B&B. I look forward to returning with interested photographers on a landscape and nightscape tour next year to see it hanging.
This image is from twenty, twenty-second exposures stacked using Starry Landscape Stacker. One exposure was light painted to illuminate the foreground.
