The long-exposure night photograph reveals the magic of Rovinj under a star-studded sky. The ancient houses of the village, illuminated by few warm lights, overlook the calm sea reflecting the glow of St. Euphemia bell tower. The Milky Way and constellations are barely perceptible in the clear sky, while on the horizon the glow of lights from the Istrian coast can be glimpsed. The historic facades, with their dark windows and closed shutters, tell of the silence of night in the sleeping village. This image captures the romantic essence of Rovinj, a city that seems suspended in time between past and present.
