The first visit to this beautiful, mystical place in the Swiss mountains was a success. Shortly after arriving, I immediately noticed this branch in the water. It was clear to me that this would be the perfect foreground for my photo, as the Milky Way will also be in the right position. Since the conditions were initially not ideal for the Milky Way, due to the cloudy sky, I prepared myself for an unsuccessful night. But experience has shown that weather conditions can change quickly, so that a good photo can still be taken. Also that night I was lucky that the weather changed and I was able to photograph the shining night sky.

Legendary Peaks

Most landscape photographers are familiar with the legendary three peaks and are aware of the difficult accessibility in winter, as the road leading to the destination is closed in winter. But in my favor, I found out in early autumn that it had already snowed there and the road was still open. So I could reach this place under easier conditions. Nevertheless, the night demanded a lot from me, because it was a cold, clear but star-rich night. The three peaks, the perspective, the winter landscape and the starry night make it a legendary photo.
