The Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat is nestled like a bird's nest under the peaks of the 1236 meter high Montserrat mountain.

Lanzarote offers many photo opportunities - sunsets over the salt flats or behind volcanoes are very impressive.

La Palma offers many photo opportunities - sunsets over the clouds or behind the palm trees are very impressive.

There are many legends about the mystical Escusalla ruins of the 19th century in Ludeiros, a village in the municipality of Lobios in Galicia.

During one of the 200 shots, a part of the trees was dodged with a bright flashlight in order to be able to recognize them later in the finished picture.

And then the clouds came from the sea - despite a recording altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level, this series of recordings was a race against time.

We had rented a nice little house at over 1,600 meters above sea level, which offered ideal conditions for star trail photography.

The interesting rock formations in the north of La Palma can also be used as objects for star trail photography.

Taking photos for star trails over the palm trees of La Palma is not easy with wind and long exposure times.

Many of the 200 pictures were usable, so that beautiful star trails can now be seen over the volcanoes of Lanzarote.
