Description
Early summer is the best time in the mountains, because the alpine meadows explode with colorful flowers. My favorite is the Rhododendron ferrugineum. It is sometimes aptly called snow-rose or by its German name alpenrose, as it produces clusters of pinkish-red, bell-shaped flowers.
Thousands of such colorful dots sprinkling a whole mountain side are a sight to behold, especially when they are seemingly mirrored by millions of twinkling stars in the night sky. What do you need more for paradise? A calm mountain lake, a cozy camp fire and a shooting star?
No problem: Welcome to Switzerland!
Ok, the shooting star is a flash of a manmade Iridium satellite, but it fits the cliché.

Beautiful capture with a nice Iridium flare as a bonus! Sadly almost all Iridiums are now a thing of the past.
