Star Trail Above Dents d'Ambin

In these dark times where reason is (almost) totally lost and we are more and more supinely commanded by dictatorial governments (especially here in Italy!), with continuous new impositions that generate phobia, deaths, psychological and educational discomforts, suicides and poverty, social hardships of all kinds, and when we are even no longer allowed to breathe freely outside, it is good to never lose the healthy habit of observing the cosmos... “useless activity” one can say, probably yes, probably no, I certainly do not wish to have the last word on the sacred relationship that each of us has with the infinite, the inscrutable, the Mystery, which has always surrounded the human being.

Fact that the more I observe the cosmos, at night, in the mountains, the more I understand it is useless to be afraid, much less angry. This terror, so professionally instilled up by cheap people, because they cannot see beyond their own squalid power interests, does not deserve any consideration. The beauty of the cosmos will remain, those people will pass. “Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.” Mahatma Gandhi.

 

If compared to the previous shot this photograph shows more in detail the Dents d'Ambin (3.372 m).

Clearly present in the sky the trails of light left by the stars due to the Earth's rotation during the long exposure.

The brightest band near the Dents summits is caused by the Milky Way.
