Milky Way over the Ocean of Clouds

La Palma, Spain, August 2021 The summer night turned out to be surprisingly windless at an altitude of 2400m. I was watching the clouds creep into the caldera, a large hollow of volcanic origin, remaining the tiny orange stripe of light coming from the towns underneath. It was such a magic moment.

About Artist

Egor Goryachev

My name is Egor and I'm a landscape astrophotographer living in Munich, Germany. Being a professional architect and having an experience with a daylight photography I got into the night photography three years ago and this amazing activity fascinates me up until now. Since that moment I had a chance to travel to the areas of the world where the impact of light pollution is minimised and you can see billions of stars during the clear night. And this is what you see is incredible.
