   Summary Author:  Tomas Slovinsky

   Shown above is one of my most favorite shots I have ever taken. The
   photograph comes from  La Palma in the  Canary Islands, where I
   spent about two weeks in July. At the beginning of the night, I
   wondered if it was worth it to shoot in such extremely strong wind. I
   met with Jakob and Florian - a fantastic duo of German photographers-
   and finally, we found a  leeward place. The position was at high
   altitude with an amazingly clear atmosphere that allowed the universe
   to shine at its greatest. The view overlooking the dark  volcanic
   caldera and  cloud inversion contrasted with the spectacular night
   sky. Only in the darkest places on Earth can you see the  Milky Way
   shining that bright, accompanied by  airglow above the horizon and
   even  zodiacal light extending among the sky.
