Super Moon hiding behind the Refuge du Goûter

The lights were on but no one was home in the Refuge du Goûter during the Covid lock down in Spring 2020, Imagine being there with the moon this big though! 100% real, just cropped and edited to bring the detail and colours out of the moon.

Neowise Comet over Chamonix

During June in 2020 the Neowise Comet came close enough to the earth to be visible to the naked eye, add a few seconds exposure and you can see a comet that will not come close again for 6000 years.

Milky Way - Col du Montets

This image was taken at the Col du Montets, Chamonix, France. The road passes next to the little lake at the top and at night the cars create an interesting effect lighting the trees up.

Milky way above Le Tour Glacier

This was taken from a bivi on the glacial moraine next to the Le Tour Glacier. Another super clear night and the Milky Way was super clear as it blasts out over the Aiguille Verte in the background and Aiguille du Chardonnet in the foregound.

After walking into the Aiguille Rouges on a mission to get some funky lake shots, we found a good spot to pitch the tent and sat back and watched the magic. June 2018.
