Milky Way and airglow over the chapel of John and James

Since last year, a dream had been smoldering within me—to capture in the lens the chapel of John and Jacob of Menuš under the majestic arch of the summer Milky Way. But the universe seemed to laugh at my plans: several attempts were shattered by the whims of the weather. It seemed that fate itself was postponing this shot. And then—a spontaneous night outing that ended in triumph! Luck finally smiled upon us. And not just smiled, but gifted us with unimaginable beauty: besides a scattering of stars, the sky was illuminated by a mysterious atmospheric glow, creating a fantastic backdrop.
