Tourlitis lighthouse in Andros.

The town of Andros was buzzing with life. Tourists wandered through the narrow alleys, heading to the bars for their evening drink. I, however, had different plans. For a long time, the idea of capturing an astrophotograph of the Tourlitis lighthouse had been haunting me, and that night felt perfect. The wind had died down, the sky was clear, and Andromeda was rising right behind the lighthouse.

I climbed the arch toward the castle with all my gear on my back, feeling the curious stares of those relaxing on the balcony of the Maritime Museum. Inside the castle ruins, on the edge of the cliff, under the stars, a hedgehog and a woman.
