Regions:
Planets from Greek ship

Kish Island, Iran

From the photographer: "Why this ship has not moved during the four hours of exposing,
although it is on the water? Forty years ago, this ship, known as
Greek Ship, ran aground in northeast shore of Kish Island located in
Persian Gulf in south of Iran and could never reach its destination,
Greece. Even after eighty days of struggle a Dutch tugboat could not
pull the ship off the ground.
The beautiful scene of Greek Ship at dusk has become a tourist
attraction. This photo, created by merging 536 photos, shows this
scene without any manipulation. The ship is lit by light pollution of
the beach. The lights of the commercial ferries are recognizable in
the horizon. Moreover, the traces of Venus and Jupiter are visible at
the center of the photo." Mahdi Zamani
