During last of his visits of “El Teide” in Tenerife, Spain’s highest mountain, Terje Sorgjerd make this amazing timelapse video. In his own words, “one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars”, T. Sorgjerd captured the very essence of the sky above the Canary Islands: the density of stars you can see here isn’t comparable with the sky in other part of Europe.
