Star Gazing Over Clouds Blazing

Time-lapse @ vimeo.com/143386823

 

Stars rising over fiery clouds as seen from Pico de La Cruz (2351m) on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands) on Oct. 6, 2015. The towns of Barlovento and Los Sauces are below the clouds. Light pollution laws on the island are the strictest anywhere in acc. with the "Sky Law Act" (see first link below). The constellations are Taurus and the Pleiades. Airglow (orange / green hues) is visible above the clouds.
