These were taken between August 12 and August 15, 2010. Music is Samskeyti by Sigur Ros.

It is beautiful and amazing!

To Ben: Make us two :) I wonder myself how can i take photos like this from where i live (the only Galaxy i see around is a supermarket named "Galaxy"...). I have many night sky photos but sorry no color in them. I believe that except the skills (which i miss) and knowledge needed for this result (like this perfect video), light pollution plays a critical role... Isolation is a must :)
