**Milky Way at Refugio Punta de los Roques / La Palma**
Refugio al universo
6840 ft / 2085 m
On May 26th I started my first multi-day hiking trip into the mountains of La Palma. I choose parts of the GR-131 trail – better known as Ruta El Bastón – the famous trail of the Transvulcania Ultra Marathon. I started from Regufio El Pilar aiming to hike two days to Roque de Los Muchachos. On the way there is a cabin – the Refugio Punta de Los Roques – where I had planned to spend a night for nightscape photography. The Refugio is perfectly located and offers some breathtaking views
I used a simple camera setup to save weight, so I decided to take my all time favourite 50mm lens. In the end, the main panorama became a composition of 97 single photos. Meanwhile I was almost laying on the ground while shooting due to the freezing wind. Great adventure!

Afterwards I started a documentary project about astro-landscape-photography at the Canary Islands to share my adventures, background stories and well deserved fails of these adventures.
