Yeah... We can never see it that way of course. I don't know if you've had a chance to see it from a really, really dark location, but it still looks quite fascinating. It's always a treat because locations like that are always quiet and peacful. So, in combination with that sky... I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it always brings some strange feelings within me...
Well, you are close. Visit some of Croatian islands and you should be able to find a spot like that. And I am sure the Alps are not missing it either... :)
