The sky is so fascinating. I am no expert and I would say I'm not even a hobby observer of the night sky but I have noticed recently the difference in the sky between different places. I've been back home for a couple of weeks and as there are mainly small villages and mountains the stars are so bright. I don't remember seeing such bright stars anywhere else in the world. It's so beautiful.
I like both photos but I must say that I prefer the one with stars. It looks more real. The second one simply miss the stars (but this is probably just a personal preference :))
Thank you for sharing all the information. It's very interesting! Have a lovely day!
Thank you very much for your kind words @delishtreats :-)
One of the benefits of living in a rural area instead of a city is the lower light pollution. The city lights can totally hide most of the stars, which is very sad. Before I moved to my location here, I lived in a small city (it was not such a city as everyone thinks when one hears the word city. Maybe 10k people lived there) and was never able to see the Milky Way.
Thank you for your opinion. I also like the one with the stars most. As you say, it is more natural. The one without the stars is to show whats in the background of the stars.
Thank you very much! I'm wishing you also a lovely day :-)
Btw. Just took a look at your post. Awesome shots! I'm really curious about your next one :-)
Thank you! I've been inactive for a while as I was sick and now I'm on vacation back home. I will be back in Switzerland in a week and will start posting again :)
It's interesting that you were not able to see the Milky Way in a small city. It's a common thing here :) So now I feel blessed :)
I wish you a lovely Sunday!
In the meantime, I'm able to see it. :-)
But even here the conditions become worse every year.
More and more LED street lights and LED lights in generall that are much brighter and need so few energy that they can be turned on the whole night.
Oh, sickness is something, nobody needs to have. Hope you had a nice vacation :-)
Thank you, wishing you a lovely Sunday evening and a healthy start in the next week.
