I was in italian Alps on vacation. I planned this shot but there were many cloudy nights, then finally one serene evening and not even a small cloud around. Hiked to a small lake, waited for the right hour to start shooting the milky way arch from Latemar all the way above Rosengarten mountains, reflected on the lake. It was a splendid night, with some falling star and many howls of yellow bellied toads.

I'm an architect and self taught photographer. I love everything about nature in every season, wildlife and also minimal/abstract and architecture photography.
