An intergalactic pano of Andromeda & Triangulum Galaxy softly shining above my friends Camper Van. An image that inhers and mirrors all my dreams of a post-lockdown summer.
„Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.“ Carl Sagan
The mundane beauty of the Austrian Dolomites, as seen from a tiny alpine hut in the mountains of the Lesach Valley. It’s a calm place filled with precious secrets, adventures and wilderness, while being constantly wrapped into breathtaking and permanently changing views you never get tired of. The full Photo Series about the Austrian Alps in Lesachtal can be seen here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/140296283/TheReticent-Scenery-Lesachtal-in-the-Austrian-Alps/modules/792778327
Are these actual remnants of the Aurora Borealis or some Light Pollution Artefacts that produce the greenish purple glow?
But whatever it is, it’s beautiful
great shot!
Ok, I understand that this is a long exposure photo. But is the Andromeda galaxy really visible like this? I thought from such a view it cannot be distinguished from a star.
