He spent the night camping out at the Pico de la Cruz observation deck amid the mountains to get this shot, which he took at around 4am.

He describes his trip to the area to shoot the Milky Way next to an eye-catching sandstone structure as an 'unforgettable' experience with 'bright and still' stars giving him the shot he was after
