National Park "Las Cañadas del Teide", Tenerife, Spain.

At left the Teide, at right the Queen´s shoe.

This is a spectacular location to observe universe, however we still can see light pollution of Santa Cruz de Tenerife at the left of Teide.

I belong to a group of 3 night photographers called “Enfoque Nocturno” (Night Focus), if you want to see more of our work you can find at http://www.enfoquenocturno.es

Sunday evening I travelled to the peak of Kab Mountain near Veszprém in Hungary in order to observe the setting crescent Moon, the Geminids and do some "recreational" nightscape photographing under clear skies as Budapest (where I'm living) has been obscured by fog for weeks. I took many all-sky photos of the scene dominate by the two broadcasting towers of the Mountain. I realized if a Little Planet effect is applied to the picture the position of the towers and trees resemble to a clock that shows 8:00:28. :)
