SkyWatch Friday

Wengen Night Sky
This photo was taken in Wengen, a small Alpine village
in Switzerland in the Jungfrau region. This was very
early in the morning with the full moon still up.

    Thank you for contributing to SkyWatch. This one is definitely a worthy contribution!

  4. Thanks for all your comments. This is my first entry to Skywatch and I hope I can participate every week. :o)

    We stayed in Wengen on our way to go up to the Jungfraujoch (Top of Europe). It takes more then 2 hrs to get to the top from Wengen and being that the weather up in the mountains can change so fast, we want to get a head start. If we stayed in Interlaken, we run the risk of the weather turning bad by the time we get to the top of the mountain. I hope it makes sense with my explanation. LOL Thanks.

    Thanks Foong! This is my favorite photo I took in Wengen. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and saw the moonlight shining through the window. Then upon waking up early the next day, I saw this and am glad I took a picture.
