Memories from this day will always be welcomed.
My family and I spent it at a friends house in a small place on the Adriatic coastal road, called Devcic Draga. They are renting some apartments there and they asked me if I could take some photos so that they can advertise it.
In return they offered all day long swimming on a private beach, boat trip, grilled fresh fish and a bed for the night...
How can you say no to that? :)

After the dinner, a couple glasses of wine, and after everyone went to bed, I decided to try some astrophotography shots. Conditions were not ideal due to some light pollution and a half bright moon. I waited for the moon to descend a bit to get a darker sky.
In this period I spent most of the time in similar positions to the one on the photo, gazing at the sky. The only sounds were crickets, wave's quiet rustling and occasional fish making the surface splash... On a night like this, it's a waste to sleep indoors...
Anyway, when I was finished with photos and placed my camera in the backpack, I took a short swim. As I was enjoying the peaceful summer sea, I wondered how much nicer would all this experience be if there was no light pollution. I would probably be able to catch the Milky Way reflection on the surface.
Well, that should be my goal for the oncoming Milky Way season, finding a place like that...
Hope you like it,
Cheers,
Nino.
