 February 19 2010  Espichel Skyscape |
|
The image was made in the Cabo Espichel (lit. Cape Espichel) that is a cape located to the west of Sesimbra, Portugal, about 40Km south of Lisbon. The place has a breathtaking views of its cliffs,168 meters high and facing the Atlantic Ocean.
In the picture you can see beyond the rocky cliff on the horizon, a lot of light coming from the city of Lisbon. The image was obtained with a sky iluminated by the light of the Moon almost full that helps to providing a beatiful iluminated scene of the cliff, various constellations are visible. I made several pictures, but in one of them, I found it very interesting to highlight the most important constellation in the northern hemisphere, the Big Dipper that leads us to the pole star, visible all year in the same position.
