Milky Way goes to Church timelapse

Back again to this lonely Church (St Thomas & Becket) in the middle of nowhere in Romney Marsh, this time to catch the Milky Way in the unsociable hours of 2-5am. First time I see the Milky Way with the naked eye since several years ago in Brecon Beacons. but it's not prime time of the year for it. In early April, the main core of the galaxy still remains hidden. Nevertheless, it's still nice to see it. There is low Horizon light pollution as clearly seen and streetlamps flood in from behind the church, lighting up the inside as can be seen through the Church window. A very gusty night, notice the rooster wind gauge spinning around as a result.
