Milky Way above Dents d'Ambin
It is night, I am on the lake shore, without my headlamp I can't see past the end of my nose, and I am going to photograph the Milky Way above the Dent's d'Ambin, in the French Alps. Yes, I wanted to take this shot, from this spot, since a long time, but being in the middle of the night in certain alpine places, with the right weather conditions and lunar absence always requires a lot of planning.
You really have to try to do these things to properly understand what I'm talking about. But in the end, you just need to be determined and things get done sooner or later :-) I will post on my new YouTube channel a video about this experience.
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, being in the high mountains, surrounded by the peace and darkness of the night, always has a real regenerating power for my soul, whether I manage to take home the desired shot or not.
Especially in this period, during which phobia reigns supreme in the plains, the mountain reminds us about human precariousness and sense of constant risk, which must be accepted if we want to live, rather than just survive.
The majesty of the mountain relocates everything on a larger scale, we can even touch the cosmos "with our hands”, and thus it becomes clear the duty to give real value to the UNIQUE opportunity that each of us has to be here, now, on this planet.
The value of every single moment.
