The Summer Milky Way from Turkey

[MartinB]

Last week I was on a sailing trip from Gocek, Turkey.  After an evening enjoying Raki and Mezzes I wandered along a path behind the restaurant with camera kit, more in hope than expectation.  I couldn't quite get down to the sea unfortunately.  Despite the bright lights in the bay behind me the sky was actually reasonably dark and no moon to worry about.  This pic was taken with a Canon 6d and 14mm Sigma lens at F1.8, 30 secs ISO 1600.  Subsequently savaged in Lightroom!  If you look hard enough you can also see Saturn, Jupiter, Sagitarius and Scorpio.
