Night of Lights

While the earth sleeps, the sky awakens in a burst of light. On a cold December night, the Cap de ses Salines lighthouse witnessed one of the year’s most intense meteor showers: the Geminids. There, beneath the stellar dome, time seemed to open up to give way to a celestial choreography.

The image is composed of dozens of meteors captured over several hours, carefully aligned to show their radiant point. The lighthouse’s light, usually solitary, is enveloped by a constellation of trails crossing the sky from all angles. On the ground, vegetation and buildings remain motionless, contrasting with the activity of the firmament.

This photograph is both a technical work and a poetic statement. In it converge the randomness of the universe, the photographer’s precision, and the presence of a lighthouse that, even surrounded by stars, remains a guide in the darkness.
