Description
I really like this lonely tree in this beautiful lavender field. My plan was to photograph it under the milky way as well but I didn't have the opportunity. Lavender are in full bloom only for a few days before they are harvested to extract their oils. So, I thought I could try and create a composite of two photos which is what you see here. I combined a photo of this beautiful flower field along with a photo of the milky way. I think it looks great how the straight rows of lavender flowers lead you towards the lonely tree and to the starry night sky afterwards. The milky way core shines bright in the night and you can clearly see the colours and details of our galaxy!
The photo was taken at Mesimeri next to Thessaloniki in Greece.
