Star trails behind a small chapel in Vodice, Gorenjska, Slovenia. The brightest stars around the church spire are from the Orion constellation. This small graveyard is also lit by candles on the graves, which is a common practice here in Slovenia. This image was captured just as the moon was waning at 96.4% and just rising to the east, which, along with cars and streetlights, helped to nicely illuminate the chapel and graveyard.

The hanging gallows of Combe Gibbet, on Gallows Down near the village of Combe, West Berkshire / Hampshire border. Erected in 1676 for the purpose of displaying the bodies of George Broomham and Dorothy Newman after their execution for murdering his wife, but has only ever been used for them. The gibbet was placed in this prominent location as was meant as a warning, to others of what happens to criminals. I grew up near here and often visited this place, but only thought of photographing it now. As luck would have it, I arrived as a storm was blowing over at sunset, blessing this region with stunning light as the clouds cleared over from the west. This hill provides commanding views across Hampshire and West Berkshire.
