After having studied the position of the Milky Way during the summer months, I decided to visit the Dolomites together with my friends. We departed from the airport of Venice and arrived at the Cinque Torri during the early hours of the evening. From there we began to walk through a small path that would have taken us to the shelter above, the "Rifugio Scoiattoli". As we walked we could see the stars and the arc of the milky way shining above us. The subjects were not few for our compositions: the mastondic towers were set perfectly under the arch of the Milky Way.
