Description:

The comet streaks across the sky above Ragusa Ibla, just after sunset. The magenta hues of dusk fade into the deep blue of the evening, while the ancient city with its baroque churches and narrow streets delicately lights up. The bright tail of comet C3 ATLAS stands out above the city, creating a suggestive contrast between the night sky and the historical charm of Ibla. A suspended, almost unreal atmosphere, where nature and culture meet. Ragusa Ibla (Sicily) at 17.14 UTC (19.14 local time) on October 14, 2024 Sony ILCE-7M3 + Tamron 28-75 @50mm 4s f/4 ISO 800
