I'm dazed looking at it... In one hand the lighthouse and the milky way makes me think of how much we have yet to be seen, known and learned, how insignificant we are and this how huge this Creation is; in the other hand, the lights of the city aside, pulling me back from the stare down to earth and thinking about our lives, here, today as we are. My eyes keep staring the sky, then back to the city.

I can see why you love this place, it's already a striking building, and the way you positioned it flat to the camera creates a magical composition.
Also, I'd love to live in a house like that!

I recommended you for a D.D! It's good to see you getting a lot of recognition from many different people for your talent on the facebooks and in focus mag. You deserve it! Also I enjoy seeing you not tell people how you do things.

what were your settings on your camera for this?

I donΒ΄t understand, does that mean that thereΒ΄s places on Earth in which you can actually see the Milky Way??

If it's very dark, you can faintly see the milky way, but never this bright. This photo has been captured with a very long shutter speed, allowing more light into the camera and onto the sensor. This way, all light is "magnified" or intensified if you will making the milky way appear very clearly. Pretty much all astro-photography (excluding pictures of the moon, sun and other very bright objects) are done this way, even with super sensitive equipment like the hubble satelite

Thank you for the clarification. I was suddenly under the impression that I was missing natureΒ΄s most gargantuan and spectacular show. here in Brazil, in some rural areas you can see a fair decent starry sky, but still just a few shiny dots, never a nebula!
I love to play "COSMOS" in fields like this, even listening to Carl Sagan and Vangelis in my head. So i guess i would have a vertigo attack if i actually see a nebula!

For clarification the vast starry/cloudy subject you see here is not a Nebula itself. What you are seeing is a band of the Milky Way Galaxy which contains some distant nebula, galaxy's and of course many stars but you'd have to magnify more more to make out the nebula's.
