This stunning photo of the recent new moon, during the Milky Way season of April to October, was taken at Boca do Rio between Burgau and Salema at about 10.30pm on Sunday, 29th September 2024.
Taken by photographer and regular visitor to the Algarve, David Oldham, the sky looks absolutely phenomenal.
