Imagine the universe conspiring to create a fleeting spectacle visible only from a precise point and a specific moment in time. Italian photographer Valerio Minato worked on this for six years to create breathtaking photographs that have captivated the world.
His obsession?capture Month It blends perfectly with the dome of Superga Cathedral near Turin, Italy, and the majestic peak of Monviso, the highest peak in the Cotsian Alps.
This heavenly feat was no accident. It was the culmination of dedication and planning. Since 2017, Minato has carefully studied the phases of the moon, the position of the horizon, and even weather patterns to find the perfect moment.
His relentless pursuit was not without its challenges. Years of cloudy skies threatened to extinguish his dreams. But just before 7pm on December 15th, the heavens aligned. Clear skies, an ideally positioned moon, and years of preparation combined to allow Minato to capture the images he had long dreamed of.
His photographs are fascinating evidence of passion and perseverance. It’s a reminder that the most breathtaking sights are worth waiting for, making precise calculations and unwavering determination to turn celestial dreams into photographic reality.
A photo of this month taken by Minato a few days ago was posted on the Instagram @mindset.therapy page.
One user wrote, “I’m sure the Internet is a bridge between different realities, because in my reality the moon is not this big.” Another added: “This is what Frank Sinatra was singing.” A third person commented: “What’s your photo today?” This is more like a century-old painting. ”
The next time you look at the moon, remember that somewhere beneath its glittering surface, a story of devotion and celestial magic is unfolding. And perhaps with a little patience and perspective, you just might be able to witness your own one-in-a-million moment under the canvas of the sky.
