About this image

It’s amazing what you can get with an iPhone and a bit of in phone image processing. This was taken from our garden in SW France with the phone propped up on top of a gas cylinder for steadiness! Fortunately the street lights go out at 23.00 CEST and the sky is very dark after that.
