Stepping Stones to the Galaxy
During a visit to the Creux du Van in northwestern Switzerland, I hiked past these peculiar limestones. As I had a different shooting location in mind, I did not stop to check them any further, although thought that they looked kind of cool.
After a long and cold shooting, I finally called it a night. On my way back to the car, I passed these stones again and when I saw how nicely the Milky Way with Cygnus on the horizon aligned with these limestones, I immidiately knew that I had just lost some more of my precious sleep.
