Crimson Mediterranean
About the Photo:
This photograph was taken during a rare SAR (Stable Auroral Red) event visible across parts of Europe, including Italy. Captured at Capo Pecora in Sardinia, it shows red and magenta tones rarely observed at these latitudes, affecting sky and sea. The Milky Way appears near the horizon alongside long-exposure ocean movement, documenting an uncommon atmospheric event along Sardinia’s granitic coast between Arbus and Buggerru, recorded under stable night conditions with minimal light pollution.
