I chose Pico de la Cruz, one of the summits on La Palma Island, as my main location to spend the night shooting our galaxy. it was an unforgettable night spent in the great company of friends.ĭuring the spring months, the Milky Way core starts to appear in the southeast part of the early morning sky, so it becomes possible to photograph the whole Milky Way Arch at an almost 180-degree angle from north to south. Slightly to the right of it are Jalovec Mountain and the Loška walls, which rise above the Alpine valley of Loška Koritnica.
The highest peak in this part of the Julian Alps is Mangart (2,679 meters), the third highest mountain in Slovenia above which the Andromeda Galaxy emits its light. An idyllic location in the middle of the Saddle is the Mangart hut, where you can sleep and eat local cuisine. On the left side of the image is the road that leads to Mangart Saddle. What surprised me while shooting is that, on this night, Mangart Saddle was full of light from all sides and photographers eager for unforgettable moments and photographs. However, I caught a few meteors, which brightened up the night.
The weather was great at first, but as the night progressed, high clouds appeared, which, unfortunately, obscured what was happening in the sky. Of course, that brought us great results. This was one of my most anticipated locations in 2021 that my friend and I planned for 6 months in advance. In the end, the experience never disappoints me in any way. You just need to be in the right place at the right time.
What always excites me about photographing the night sky is that you never know what to expect surprises are happening all over the sky. That’s when I feel free, but, at the same time, so small. I love nature and being somewhere outside under a starry sky in serene silence.
