Blue Hotel

All good things come in threes. So here is my third twighlight image, before I will probably finish my "blue phase"...

 

It reminds me of the famous song by Chris Isaak:

 

Blue hotel

On a lonely highway

Blue hotel

Life don't work out my way

 

Blue hotel

On a lonely highway

Blue hotel

Life don't work out my way

I wait alone each lonely night

Blue hotel

Blue hotel

 

Blue hotel

Every room is lonely

Blue hotel

I was waiting only

The night is like her lonely dream

Blue hotel…

 

The abandoned Hotel Belvédère near the Furkapass is one of the "must shoot" places for most night photographers in Switzerland and has therefore already been shot to death long time ago. I have successfully avoided it so far, but as the planned shooting location proved to be a bust, I reluctantly decided to finally capture my version of it.

 

While taking some foreground shots during blue hour, a post bus passed and painted these interesting light trails. As I liked the trails quite a bit, I set up my tracker during nautical twilight and captured a matching blue Milky Way.

 

Although I was not very keen on shooting this location, it is nevertheless nice to capture a well known landmark with a personal touch.
