 Star Trails Overhead the Statue of Mother

   Summary Author:  Anthony Ayiomamitis

   The photo above showing star trails above the “Statue of Mother” was
   taken during the summer of 2020, on the island of  Aegina, Greece.
    Polaris is the star at the center of the concentric circles. This
   13 ft (4 m) tall  bronze statue was sculpted by  Christos
   Karpalou and represents a mother patiently awaiting the safe return of
   her son from abroad. A similar but much smaller copy of the statue can
   be found at the island's cemetery, overlooking the grave of the
   sculptor's mother. Note that my car's floor mats were used to cover the
   flood light facing the base of the statue. Click  here to learn more
   about the details of this image.
