This is a 58 shot panorama of the Milky Way setting over the Indian Ocean at The Spot, an hour north of Perth in Western Australia.
This location is a popular surfing spot inbetween the coastal towns (or are they suburbs now?) of Yanchep and Two Rocks. You can see the light pollution just leaking into the image on both sides. Thankfully the rock formation on the right shielded much of the LP from Two Rocks. At least enough so that the North America Nebula can be easily spotted just above the rocks.
