The Cosmic Beacon [Explored]

I just returned from a short trip to Southern Italy. I didn't have the time to do any astrophotography, but looking through my hard drives, I found a so far unpublished image from a previous visit in 2019.

 

"The Cosmic Beacon" is the Punta Palascia Lighthouse, located in Capo d'Otranto, which is the easternmost point of Italy and the narrowest point of Strait of Otranto, the meeting point of the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea.
