While staying at Mexican Hat, I was stuck under cloudy skies, but my weather app forecasted a cloud break during the night. Despite my severe doubts and extremely strong winds, I got up at 11 p.m. and drove to the nearby Hat Rock. As I did not really believe that the clouds would disappear, I only carried minimal equipment.

While setting up, the clouds really started to split and I was able to capture the starry skies through a gap that nicely aligned with the rising Milky Way.

As a landscape photographer and pilot I have the privilege to travel the world and visit some of the most beautiful places on our planet. I started photography as an astro-photographer, which still shows in my passion for nightscapes. While not exclusively shooting at night, a big part of my work shows the beauty of the starry night skies in combination with some iconic landscapes. Thanks for visiting my gallery.
