St Michaels Mount Cornwall. Not taken by me, I can only dream of shots like this, but I have been to Cornwall several times and sat, staggered, under the Milky Way. Seen an eclipse, albeit behind a black cloud, and studied Jupiter moons though binoculars. As I sat there I was reminded of a story of a power cut in NYC. People ran screaming in the streets because they could not comprehend a night sky full of stars - they totally lost it!! I thought to myself, those poor people have never lived!

Yes nice image, Zt you sure that's photoshopped?
elb; It could be.
Does anyone know if St. Michael's is in a tidal flat and tidal bound? It seems to be: St Michael's Mount near Marazion in Cornwall

Not sure, just guessing. I find it hard to believe you would get that depth of galactic display in a time exposure though. Looks more like a Hubble background with St. Michael's overlayed.
Although there is the nice shooting star streak ...Last edited by Ztruker; 14 Oct 2020 at 14:32.

the author signed his work, so assume time exposure then maybe a bit of 'open in camera raw' in photoshop. Done that myself, with a few. The area is quite dark at night with Penzance far to the right and Marazion behind camera.

Agreed, Noticed how St. Mike's is illuminated.
There's the duskiness of the pathway, then the outer buildings and wall get lighter up to the mount and the mount is on another scale.
I can't tell the light difference between astronomical twilight, nautical twilight or civil twilight of how the sky matches at sea level behind the mount.
elb, you found a really nice picture, it's just a curiosity of how it was done. Do you have a source?

I got it sent to me by a former comrade who live near Penzance. I googled his name and there is quite a lot of references, here is one showing his 'work'

my initial post says where it is 'St Michaels Mount', its on tidal flats and the causeway is covered when tide is in. They use a high wheeled vehicle to ferry people who missed the tide coming in. Behind the mount is the english channel/atlantic ocean
