Description
The rhododendron ferrugineum or alpenrose were in full bloom when I visited this beautiful lake in the French Pyrenees with benjaminbarakat
While scouting the area in the afternoon, I found this patch of flowers along the lakeshore. A quick check of the PhotoPills showed that the Milky Way would line up perfectly at around 1 a.m. with the core nicely framed between two mountain peaks.
Unfortunately, the weather forecast was less precise and we found pretty dense clouds instead of the predicted clear skies. The strong cloud cover reflected the light pollution from the Zaragoza region, which almost made me stop shooting.
After processing the image however, I like the mood of the cloudy sky with the Milky Way peeking through.
