Breakfast buddy

The Paranal site is a remote and challenging environment. Exceptionally arid with incredibly little rainfall, and very isolated to avoid light pollution, flora and fauna have to be very well adapted to survive. The la Residencia hotel, home for staff at ESO's Very Large Telescope, offers a luxurious respite from the harsh working conditions. A curious local made the photographer — ESO Photo Ambassador, Heiko Sommer — a little visit at breakfast.
