The last meteor before sunrise

After I watched the whole night the falling perseids, I packed the gear in my backpack again and was walking back, then I saw this beautiful sight on the Mythen, so is called this mountain.
I shoot this image short before the horizon was getting red. And no, what you see at this horizon is not the dawn it is the light pollution.
And what you also can see are the hikers with their headlights going up to enjoy the sunrise from the peak.

A lonely moon

And lonely is the moon circling his track around the earth. While the sun is going down on the opposite and throw red light on the snowy mountains, the moon is climbing up in the sky and will brighten up our dark night with his light.
And if the photographer could be at the place to the right time, he could catch the moon while he is nearer at the mountains with more focal length.

Grand Teton

On our last journey thru the USA, we visited the Yellowstone National Park and drove along south. On the way to Jackson Hole you can see the impressive mountains of the Grand Teton. You can stop at a stight seeing place and enjoy this massiv mountain front. I made this panorama picture from 8 shots and it shows nearly 180 degree. And because I made this picture at my very beginning of my photo adventure phase, I didn’t stay until the sun goes down, for better a lightning. But maybe this was better for my marriage

Cows on the mountain

Like mostly we were too late and missed the sunset. On this hike I was testing my brandnew outdoor equipment, tent, sleeping bag and backpack. Damn was the mountain steep and the equipment heavy I was short before a heart attack and I could use my tongue as a tie!
On the half way up, we saw the lake and the last sunset glow at the sky, so we stopped for a photo session, probably this saved my life. The cows in the front are a really nice eye candy, but the couldn’t sit still and I get only blurred cows. But all together I like this image, because there is everything on it: animals, a lake, sunset, mountains and the stars.
