Milky Way, La Palma

What a night! Early-season Milky Way Arch and Moonrise captured from a very windy 2,400m altitude on La Palma (April 2023)

There was quite a lot of Saharan dust in the atmosphere whilst I was there, hence the orange colouration, but the MW rose just enough to clear most of it. I had to be really careful with my timing as the moonlight very soon after washed the MW out entirely. The spring flowers add some vibrancy to the volcanic foreground.
