First Milky Way of the year

Last night was the second time this year that the weather allows a bit of astrophotography. I was planning for this shot on and off for a few days now. I went out to Palic right onto the western lookout, set up my camera and started taking pictures. The air was warm and muggy, and the fog was rolling around, which made the colors of the stars a bit wonky. Birds and frogs sang their usual songs of the night, and some fishes jumping out of the water could be heard occasionally, overall very peaceful in the dark.

The resulting image is a combination of 100 stacked images of the sky, a single long exposure of the water and surroundings and another long exposure from the inside of the lookout.
