My first attempt at capturing the Milkyway, from the ruins of Castell Dinas Bran in Llangollen, North Wales (after a few test shots). I'd love to explore the turquoise shores, clear night skies and bustling little streets of Crete, and of course the guidance that #BvS could offer! #BvSCrete #castelldinasbran #llangollen #denbighshire #astrophotography #nightsky #milkyway #castleruins #astroselfie #photopills #northwales #visitwales #visitcymru #deevalley
