Milky Way over Mount Argentera

Gesso Valley, in North West of Italy, is one of my best places, even because I started coming here when I was a child.

Mount Argentera is the simbol of this valley: with a height of 3297m is the higher of Alpi Marittime.

Last year I checked that it was possible to have a good alignement of Milky Way Bow and Mount Argentera from Fremamorta Lakes, at the hight of 2375m, that are just in front. And fortunately there is also a nice bivouac to spend the time before and after shooting.

So at the end of June I went there with my backpack full of stuff and an hike of 2 hours.

For this panoramic picture I did 20 shots for the sky and 20 shots for the frontground.

The red light pin you'll see is from Remondino Refuge, one of the most famous refuges of the area.
