Comet McNaught behind the Lyon's Head in Cape Town by Fabrizio Melandri

Believe me it is not a fake but a impressive photoart by Fabrizio Melandri. Fabrizio Melandri -  a professional photographer from Italy - was hunting the McNaught comet in South Africa. He stayed at Sunset Manor and was a wonderful guest. Thank you very much to Fabrizio that we can use this breathtaking image. The McNaught comet behind Lion’s Head in Cape Town …. Unbelievable!!!

Glaubt mir das ist keine Fotomontage sondern eine beeindruckende Photokunst von Fabrizio Melandri. Fabrizio Melandri - ein professioneller Fotograf - der den Komenten McNaught in Südafrika jagte, war unser Gast im Sunset Manor. Vielen Dank an Fabrizio, dass wir dieses atemberaubende Foto veröffentlichen dürfen. Der Koment McNaught hinter dem Löwenkopf in Kapstadt, Südafrika … einfach unglaublich!!!
