The European Southern Observatory (eso.org) was kind enough to allow me to visit the Paranal Observatory in July 2013 to photograph the site at night. Here the Milky Way sets behind the VLT platform and the Star Trail which leads to it.

All photos from Colosimo Photography are available for purchase in higher quality than appears online. Please send me a message via the Contact page for further information.
