“turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky.
the more I give to you, the more I die.” – the perfect drug, nine inch nails

there isn’t a better fitting title for that. i set off with my camera in hand a few minutes after midnight and didn’t know where to go first. somewhere i always end up when i am bored is in zeiselmauer right at the danube. almost no light pollution and a wide open area makes this a great spot for night time photography. once i was there it felt creepy. there were noises of animals everywhere, mosquitos bit me in the face but it was absolutely right. shots two and three were taken there, with one exposure of about one minute each. all in all i was there for about an hour, then packed up again and felt like pushing the envelope, so i went to tulln into the aubad because of the lake/sky setting. the outcome is a little different to what i had in mind, but i am still happy with the final result. if the sky is that bright again tonight, i will be out again.

fitting music helps, so i popped in the “the perfect drug” remix i downloaded earlier from remix.nin.com . one of the best remixes i have ever heard…

this is ursa major…

one of many constellations that should be rather easy to track on a clear night sky.

a neighbor of mine just walked by as i was on my way to my parents to walk the dog. thunder could be heard in the background.
while we were passing by each other she asked “aren’t you afraid of lightning?”.
i smiled and just shook my head.
“no, i am not.”
