The Milky Way From A Beach In Greece
The Milky Way in the dark Greek night sky with the illuminating stars, part of the galaxy that contains our Solar System as seen from a sandy beach in Halkidiki, Greece with a boat visible and villages of the other side reflecting the light on the water surface. The long exposure photography of the Milkyway was captured from Koviou sandy beach, a typical Mediterranean landscape of the Aegean Sea, near Nikiti. Due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic, Greece was not overcrowded with tourists and safety - lockdown measures applied during the summertime, a fact that helped the sky be darker and the universe was easily visible from the shore.
