Norwegian photographer Terje Sorgjerd took this time lapse video of the Spanish sky from El Teide, Spain’s tallest mountain, in the Canary Islands.



“This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011,” writes Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo. “I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide, is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world’s best observatories. “
