A silent sunset moment on Lake Sils with magic lighting upon the Piz da la Margna and storm clouds rolling over the ridge on the other side of the valley.

This panorama image is from my first time visit to the beautiful Engadin valley in Graubünden, Switzerland. After the heavy snowfall the day before with around 1 meter of fresh champagne powder snow and high avalanche risk it seemed to be much safer to stay at the bottom of the valley. Lake Sils was completely frozen and covered with a mixture of snow and slushy ice – that didn’t feel too safe after all 😉 Next weekend the annual Engadin Skimarathon will also take the route over lake Sils on a wide prepared track.

I had this shot with the milky way in my mind for a very long time. However, due to weather conditions as well as the treacherous nature of the surface at this location I could not get around to taking it. The last moonless night before the milkyway season also passed and I thought I would have to postpone it till next year. However, my nephew wanted to make a video for some project and asked me for an interesting location. I felt this place would be interesting for capturing sunset, so I took him there. After the sunset, I saw the crescent moon setting and I thought this was my opportunity to shoot the milky way with the moon. I waited till the sky became dark enough to reveal the galactic core while the light of the twilight and the moon helped me get the foreground with a much higher degree of detail. Clear sky forecast by Escaype. Also, grateful to Marc for showing me that it is indeed a promising location.
This is a 5 shot vertorama with shots within a span of a few minutes of each other.
