Traffic Jam on Lake - Veyrier Summit
The Annecy Bastille Day fireworks have just finished, and the many boats along the Pâquier return to their respective ports, resulting in an admirable traffic jam on a lake usually empty at this late hour. Someone crossing the lake from Sevrier to Veyrier would have a hard time getting around such a flotilla. Mirroring the multiple lights of the small boats, the constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius follow their course from east to west, making visible the immutable rotation of the Earth during this thirty minute shot from the summit of the Veyrier overlooking Annecy. (Note the residual smoke from the fireworks drifting away over the lake.)
