Description
The Milky Way core season is slowly approaching its end here in Switzerland. September is the last month with more than just a few minutes of core visibility.
For my first September Milky Way shooting, I revisited this spot, where I captured Orion in January this year. Not only the sky was totally different now, but also the rest of the conditions. The snow-covered landscape was replaced by lush green meadows and forests and
the pleasant late summer evening was some 35°C warmer than the bitter cold winter night.
The Milky Way was nicely positioned between the picturesque chapel and the scenic twin peaks above the town of Schwyz and a dissipating thunderstorm was adding some drama to the scene. It was the perfect night to capture a huge panorama of one of my favorite views in Switzerland.
The light on the foreground was cast by a nearby house. I considered re-shooting the scene after the lights were extinguished, but decided that I like how the yellow-orange stripe and the dark shadows of the fence seem to mirror the band of the Milky Way in the sky.
