The first day of my vacation in Sardinia, I woke up in the middle of the night and hiked in the dark on the cliffs of Capo Carbonara to witness and capture this amazing and surreal show: the moon was setting, and because of this, all was warm and orange in the pictures, like in a sunset time, except for a detail: near it, there it was, the milky way, visible to the naked eye thanks to the darkness. This pano was very challenging for the areas with different luminosity and moving objects(the clouds and the moon)
