Milky Way season begins - a photo on Flickriver

Milky Way season begins

            Last week-end, I decided to do a bikepacking trip in South of France (Provence) in order to celebrate the beggining of the 2024's Milky Way season! 
I brought my tent, 20 kg of equipment, and slept at 2000 meters altitude for only 3 hours to wake up when the Milky Way 's core rise, namely 3:30 a.m! 

As soon as I saw the galactic bulge rising over the horizon to the naked eye, all of my efforts did worth it!
Atop this mountain, he view was amazing even though few clouds were still diffusing the light pollution of distant coastal cities of the French Riviera.

 It has been almost 8 months since I have photographed the starry sky! So thrilled I could see it again now!
And you, did you see it yet?


📍Location: Blieux, Alpes de Haute Provence, France.
