This Island Earth
Classical view toward east from the summit of mount Rocciamelone (3.538 m), Italy.
Shot taken at night on October 17th, 2012.
An ocean of clouds was hiding the plain and only a few peaks below were emerging, like islands.
Title inspired by the J.M. Newman sci-fi movie of 1955.
As these mountains seem islands, the Earth itself looks like an island in the black space, as well as our galaxy, and so on...
Nothing better than spending a night in solitary at high-altitude, admiring these natural spectacles.
I never get tired to see how the simple reality of our planet can be beautiful beyond any possible imagination.
It was very windy that night and the problem of wind at high altitudes is that everything flies away, photographer included... so I was forced to reduce the number of shots. However I brought home something decent.
