Don't depend on the weather forecast!

I went up the Passwang again to try to improve on the last Star Trails attempt. Although it wasn't too bad I wanted to get a longer trail effect.

As the title hints, the sky wasn't exactly as forecast. It was far from the completely clear that it was meant to be.

I went up early to be able to set up while there was still a little bit of light, so I took the chance to take a few shots of the sunset too.

The sun went down, and the sky darkened, but although the clouds looked like they were going to go away, they didn't. They moved around a bit, but increased ever so slowly, to the point where most of the sky was covered. I stayed up there until after midnight, but I then gave up.

While I was taking the next image I didn't see the wire from the electric fence (it was very dark). I was thinking of removing it but I quite like the effect it delivers
