Description and Details: It's been a long time since I last took an astro landscape. It's been almost 3 years since I last took a landscape at night. This time I chose Salgó Castle. After an hour and a half of driving, a 20-minute hike up the mountain in the dark and snow in the forest awaited me from the parking lot. It was exciting and scary.
In the castle, which is 625 meters high, I found myself facing merciless cold, heavy snow and raging winds. The view from the castle was unparalleled at night. The high mountains in the distance and the lights of the nearby settlements, combined with the starry sky, provided an experience that will be hard to forget.
