"Feeling Home"
You may have seen some of my images from the Kreuzberge in the Alpstein Mountains. After capturing my planned compositions, the Milky Way core had set and I was ready to call it a night.
Before hittig the mat in my tent, I looked at the scene around and glorious sky above me. It was too dark to actually see more than a few peaks of my homeland, but my eyes followed the luminous band with millions of stars that forms our galactic home. The summer triangle was riding high above me and Cygnus was hugging the zenith. King Cepheus and his wife Cassiopeia were ruling the northern sky, while I was just barely able to see her beautiful daughter Andromeda high in the east. Lowering my eyes to the eastern horizon, I saw the Pleiades rising, a clear sign that summer was ending soon.
Looking at the marvel above and around me, I felt totally at home me and I decided that the tent had to wait. Determined to capture the moment, I started shooting this huge panorama. In the end, it cost me almost 3 hours of sleep, but it was worth every minute.
