Our Top 5 Nightscape Images from Italy.
We get sent a LOT of images to have published in the Dark Sky Travels Magazine. As it would be impossible to publish all of the images, here is a look at what we think are the best Nightscape images we have been sent that have been taken in Italy.

Heaven on Earth
I probably do not have to tell you that Tuscany is a photographers paradise in daylight and it is also great at night, as this image from my last visit in May proves.
I have been revisiting the Val d'Orcia in Tuscany for four days this week, but this time, I have not done any nightscapes. That's partly because I was on a family vacation, but I could also blame it on the clouds, the moon phase, the season, the outstanding food, the excellent wine or all the cultural highlights of the area we had to visit.
Tuscany is a prime candidate for heaven on earth - for almost any reason you can dream up.

Summertime. Plus trekkers.
Last of a series of popular shots.
The big "star" is Mars, on his summer on steroids. The lights on the left are trekkers, walking at midnight, in a beautiful summer night.. A "hint" of a shooting star on the right.
