Devils Tower - a photo on Flickriver

Devils Tower

            The Devils Tower is a small sandstone mountain at the edge of the Elbe canyon in the Saxon Switzerland National park. One of the few mountains the can be seen facing south it seems to be quite a popular milky way spot.  Although the light pollution from the nearby cities in the Czech Republic are quite bad nowadays.

The night was pretty short with the milky way only being fully visible from 00:30 to 02:30 - typical summer. About an hour driva and another hour hiking for each of the two directions resulted in a pretty slow office day yesterday.

Nikon D800, AF-S 20/1.8 G, Panorama out of seven images, no stacking, Tripod.
