A last glance

Posted on Oktober 14th, 2015

The weekend shorttrip has ended, time to go back to the mountains.
Before I take you with me to my next trip in the mountains, a last glance over the light polluted flatlands with the milkyway over the horizon.
Meanwhile the autumn has arrived here in Switzerland and so I wallow in the memories and photos of the past extraordinary summer. But let us see, what next is coming…

A long way back

Posted on Oktober 12th, 2015

When you realize, that the way was longer than expected.
From the other side, it looks like a hop, but if you are on the way and you are walking, then you are walking until you reached your destination. Then you turn around and you see, how far you have to walk until you are back at your starting point.The highest hill at the horizon, was the point where I shot the last image. And a bit below you see the hotel, were I stayed over night and were I started today. It was thought as a short walk with Bubu and has ended with a four hours marsh. But I reached my destination on the other end of the hills.

The milky gleam

Posted on September 21st, 2015

After the high mountain tour, a weekend in the flatlands.
This image is for all of you, who think, why do I get not images of the Milkyway like Tom Fear does. That’s because you are not away from the light pollution and the high moisture of the lower atmosphere.
As you can see, here on 1000m on the Weissenstein in the Kanton Solothurn, you can barely see our galaxy. And you can also recognize why, because of all the many lights around you and towards the horizon. If you are looking closer, you can see the beginning of the alps.
And the next time, when you are annoyed about your starscape, think of me, I’m fighting with the same problems. If you want to solve this problem, then do it like me, drive to a less polluted area.
