Billions of years old and burning lightyears away, the stars and planets within the Milky Way are seemingly within touching distance as their vivid colours sparkle over the sleeping island of St Michael’s Mount


St Michael’s Mount, which can be reached by foot when the tide is out, is a place where wonder and magic can often feel near – legend has it the giant Cormoran once walked its granite causeway


To capture the ethereal colours of the galaxy Alessio Putzu needed a long shutter exposure of four minutes to let in enough light. He also used a piece of equipment called an ‘astro tracker’, which is aligned with the Pole Star to follow the revolving sky
