Mysterious Dolomites

This is my entry for #monomad challenge by @monochromes

Some days ago I went to walk in Dolomiti, with Tricesimo and Pavullo Alpine Club.

Dolomiti are wonderful mountains in north Italy, they are become UNESCO World Heritage.

The most popular mountains are in Trentino Alto Adige and Veneto regions, but not all people know you can find Dolomiti beauty also in Friuli Venezia Giulia region, in a place called Carnia: less people around, making them wilder and more magic.

Day was foggy and cloudy, and I prefer this climate instead of a uniform blue sky: atmosphere

is more mysterious, perfect for black&white, and you cover what you can't see with imagination!

Here we are around Monte Cridola (above) and 'Passo Scodavacca' (below), a surreal door towards the heart of this fascinating mountain kingdom:

The day after we walked on 'Costa Baton', watch how beautiful is that rock, it seemed a

profile of a man, waiting for the North army, as in Dino Buzzati novel, 'Il deserto dei Tartari'. Dino Buzzati was a painter and writer who loved Dolomiti.

Under Costa Baton, a magic wood caressed by sunrays:

and a shepherd with his flock of sheep:

Finally a morning view from low valley:

Pictures taken with Sony Alpha 7iii.

Le dolomiti sono di bellissime, con le nuvole che le circondano in quel modo poi... Complimenti per le foto e il bianco e nero è venuto benissimo

Grazie!
“Esistono da noi valli che non ho mai viste da nessun’altra parte. Identiche ai paesaggi di certe vecchie stampe del romanticismo che a vederle si pensava: ma è tutto falso, posti come questi non esistono. Invece esistono: con la stessa solitudine, gli stessi inverosimili dirupi mezzo nascosti da alberi e cespugli pencolanti sull’abisso, e le cascate di acqua, e sul sentiero un viandante piuttosto misterioso. Meno splendide certo delle trionfali alte valli dolomitiche recinte di candide crode. Però più enigmatiche, intime, segrete”
(Dino Buzzati)

Belle le foto in bianco e nero e le tue descrizioni. Le Dolomiti e le montagne in particolare mi danno serenità, il silenzio, il panorama, l'aria pulita, quando scendo a valle dopo una passeggiata mi sento rigenerata, forte come una roccia!

Grazie! Fanno bene al corpo ed allo spirito!
Poi le dolomiti friulane sono ancora poco frequentate.

Increíble, tiene una sensación como si allí habitaran fantasmas. La primera me gustó mucho y la penúltima.

I saw natural beauty in each of the photos here and I personally like such photos very much. However, in the first two photos, the trees seemed to be standing in the fog. I was waiting for such interesting photos.

It will feel scary to be here though. In this kind of forest where you can barely see what’s next to you due to the fog
I love the pictures though. They look amazing
