I intended to go out and shoot the Perseids but it is actually very hard to take pictures of a meteor shower. But it was still very impressive to just lie there and look up to the sky. I'm pretty happy with how this picture came out.

A motorway heading in the direction of Limassol city, Cyprus. The appearance of the Milky Way in the sky was totally unexpected as it couldn't be seen with the naked eye.

Taken on a night with a full moon at Lake Wakatipu, near Queenstown, New Zealand. The view was crystal clear and very bright. So I went for a 30-second long exposure, ISO 400 at f/2.8. Made it almost look like daylight...

I stayed over the night on the Hirschberg near Bad Hindelang, Bavaria, Germany. At midnight when I arrived but the sky was full of clouds. However, at the moment I woke up (at 3 a.m.) it was completely clear. It was cold so I couldn't sleep. Finally it was absolutely worth it to stay there :) I want to dedicate this to my friend Melli :) I hope you like it!

Taken above Lake Garda near Tremosine, Italy. It was a very clear day after it rained, so all the dust in the air was gone. Because it was so clear the Milky Way galaxy was visible. On all the other days of my vacation it wasn't possible to see it. I hope you like it!

Taken near Oberjoch, Bavaria, Germany. The mountain you can see in the image is the Hirschberg, from where I took my picture "Foggy Valley with Milky Way". I hope you like it!
