Description
The coastline of southern Italy is dotted with medieval watch towers that provide picturesque photo opportunities. Unfortunately, many regions of Italy are also extremely light polluted. That's why many of these beautiful structures are not suitable for Milky Way nightscapes and most of the others can only be captured facing the darker sea. This makes them only available during certain times of the year, when the Milky Way is in a favorable position.
I captured this tower in August. The alignment of the Milky Way was already past its optimum, and the region below the core drowned in light pollution. On the other hand, the artificial light helped to give structure to the landscape and tower.
