Nachtaufnahmen von Komet C/2020 F3 (Neowise)

After only the 2nd attempt – the first night the thunderstorm clouds did not really disperse fully and hence left a milky shine across the night sky which impeded the visibility to the Northwestern position of the comet – the conditions were almost perfect. Managed to get a series of comet shots from Challhöchi and Chilchzimmersattel locations in the Solothurn Jura mountains, Switzerland.

Iceland Summer 2018 – Day 16

More waterfalls in southern Iceland – we needed to catch the dry spells between the rain showers, the weather was definitely getting a bit more complicated, especially for the flying. But the scenery was still magical.
