I have over a year that I go in the mountains and photograph the night sky. I always liked the view from the top and this feeling that you feel when you're above the world. The emotions are unique. Last year I wanted so much to go in the mountains in winter, but I did not feel ready to do it. But after some time I regretted it so much, so I promised myself to go this year. I do not have enough knowledge in climbing as I do not have suitably in winter equipment, crampons, piolets and special sleeping bag for low temperatures. But inside me I have passion for life and for the unexpected. All this gives me courage and will to surpass my limits at all levels. So I walked from the house to go to the top of the mountain Voutsikaki. I walked about 5 hours by carring with me over of 20 kilos in my backpack. I wanted to do a 12 hour star trails. When I arived in the ciff it was almost night so I began to dig a hole in the snow with an ax I had with me and then I set the camera to photograph. So I stayed there the night, all alone, on the snowy top and in the bottom I was gazing the world to ... The experience was unique and definitely would like to live that again.I Just wanted to show you that when there is a will there is nothing difficult.
