Startlingly Beautiful Spanish Skies
El Teide, Spain’s highest mountain (3,718 metres) is the location for this gorgeous timelapse.
Norwegian photographer, Mr TSO:
‘The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I know El Teide. I have to say this was one of the most exhausting trips I have done. There was a lot of hiking at high altitudes and probably less than 10 hours of sleep in total for the whole week. Having been here 10-11 times before I had a long list of must-see locations I wanted to capture for this movie, but I am still not 100% used to carrying around so much gear required for time-lapse movies’.

Soviet Era Buildings Mouldering Quietly
The years between now and 1989 (when the Soviet Union started its disintergration) are the same as between 1989 and 1964. Twenty-five years.
English photographer Rebecca Litchfield spent over twenty of those 25 years sneaking around Russia snapping pictures, sometimes at the peril of her safety and freedom.
Litchfield:
“Not many explorers travel to Russia, where the rules are very different, locations are heavily guarded and a strong military presence exists everywhere. There are serious consequences for getting caught. We managed to stay hidden for all of the trip, we maximised our stealthiness, ducking and diving into bushes and sneaking past sleeping security. But on day three our good fortune ran out as we visited a top secret radar installation. After walking through the forest, mosquitos attacking us from all directions, we saw the radar and made our way towards it, but just metres away suddenly we were joined by military and they weren’t happy…”
The whole project is presented in her new book, Soviet Ghosts.
