hello everyone
I was in the Dolomites in the last two weeks of July.
I made several shots in special situations: at night, sunset, sunrise, etc.

Carlo, great shots, thanks for sharing. I like the second and fourth ones in the second group the best of the bunch.

Well, that does it. I can't take my eyes off of it. "Tofane by night" is nominated for POTM August. http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...to-month-nomination-thread-2.html#post2691065

Your sense of wonder shines through. Carlo, I always like your pictures because they are such good expressions of your connection with the place and the inherent beauty of it. You do nothing to interpose (interfere) with the viewer's ability to make that same connection and get beyond mere spectacle.

They also bring back many wonderful memories of climbing in the Dollies as we foreigners call them.

Great stuff.

Best,
Helen

PS Your pictures evoke the same response I used to feel when seeing Gaston Rebuffat's* work - almost rapturous. You know those books, I guess? Starlight and Storm?
* Often known as Ghastly Rubberfeet, although with great reverence and awe

Can I get a "wow" for these pictures?

Great use of light, dimension...and weather!
