On this day three years ago, a green light was given to the building process of the Castle of clouds -observatory. To celebrate I collected some snapshots of the building process. During these three years there has been blood, sweat and tears, a very steep learning curve from lots of diffrent things like electrical work, PCB making, automation, creating components from diffrent materials, carpentry, metal fabrication and the list goes on.. Murphy's law has also been ever present - but between those setbacks there has been also alot moments of joy, fun, laughs, bad jokes and thrilling moments under the night sky. I wouldn't give a second of it away, it has been a wonderful journey!
