Llangollen travel guide

My first attempt at capturing the Milkyway, from the ruins of Castell Dinas Bran in Llangollen, North Wales (after a few test shots).
I'd love to explore the turquoise shores, clear night skies and bustling little streets of Crete, and of course the guidance that #BvS could offer!
