Alone with the Universe
I spent a cold and windy, but beautiful night at 2882m on top of Cime de la Bonnette, which can be reached by a short hike from the highest payed trough road in Europe. While the place is rather busy during the day, I had it to myself at night.
On top of the peak, there is a small platform with a circular orientation table. The planets Jupiter and Saturn are reflecting brightly on the table. The yellow-orange glow on the lower part of the sky is light pollution from the the city of Marseille 100 miles away.
