This work was developed over almost three years and for this purpose it was necessary to register timelapse footage in low light pollution areas. All places where I have captured those plans, are shown at the end of the video.

This type of registration was not easy because most of the time was necessary to go to isolated places and at night do not appear too much safety, however, and after this period of time I decided to present this timelapse. Special thanks to my friends Jorge Santos, Paulo Santos, Manuel Marques, António Mota and Ricardo Leal for the patience that always appeared to, when they were with me in those moments of night record. Waiting long hours and dedication were needed.

There are many stories to tell about the places I’ve been. I hope you enjoy the video and foremost to be able to imagine the scale of the universe. This was my intention to carry out this timelapse. For me these photos are bridges to infinity.
