Soap Opera Bird Drama

Watching these folks is a bit like watching a soap opera tv show, a bit of chatting, some screaming, lots of drama and tons of entertainment.

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS)

The goal of my hike today, a nicely tailed space visitor straight from the Oort cloud. Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) highlights the sky at dusk, with the Milky Way as its background. Below, and (luckily for astrophotography) well hidden by clouds, the human-made lights of the local villages surrounding Lac de Joux and Lac Brenet compose and pair well with the remaining sunlight.

French Alps

From afar, the French Alps emerge from the sea of clouds that overshadow Lac Léman. Well above it, high-altitude cloud formations reflect what remains from the sunlight this day.

Mont Blanc

Then sunset casting its golden tones over the whites of the well-known Mountain that keeps its color all year long. As seen from Dent de Vaulion, Vallorbe.

Overlooking

Some people walk steadily, some run as fast as they can. Each one has his/her own goals, but one is shared among all.
