Description
During the last days of August, I was able to tick one more spot off my bucket list: The Chruezberg is a prominent row of sharp rising peaks on the eastern edge of the Alpstein Mountains. Is forms a towering cliff high above the Rhine valley and looks absolutely breathtaking when viewed from a ridge north a small pass named Saxer Luecke (Saxer Gap).
The densely populated Rhine Valley produces strong light pollution, but luckily, the sky is still dark enough to allow Milky Way photography and the artificial light from below nicely illuminates the foreground.
In late summer, the position of the Milky Way at nightfall is perfect and during this night, there was a very active line of thunderstorms in the far south, with some massive cloud to cloud lightning, adding drama to the scene.
