You know, I always think of goons as actual people who are limited by normal people things. As a result, I cannot imagine how you managed this shot. It looks like a long exposure but from what location? A drone?
All the photo's you posted are stunning but this one I would like to know more about.

That's very kind, but I'm afraid the reality will disappoint you! I simply live in a very hilly place :D
If you're willing to brave the twisty, bumpy, narrow, goat- and cow-filled roads, there are many spectacular views to be found. That photo is indeed a long (20s) exposure, taken last year during comet Neowise's visit to our neighborhood. It was late at night and the only sound you could hear was from a river miles away.

Here's another view from a place pretty close* to the previous one:

I wish I had anything nearly as good to offer but you'll have to live with these.

Those mountains are very much my jam

Thanks, a lot of bugs are photographed dead and mounted hence there's not much else going on, I try to photograph them alive and active so you see them living their bug lives.

That kind of thing (and freezing them, too) is a disgrace to our art, but I'd be lying if I said I never photograph dead bugs
