take a seat, have a look

I had to walk for hours, about 1500 meters height difference, carrying an heavy rucksack, and then waiting for the best sunset I've ever seen in my life. My father calls this wonderful place inside Dolomites "high paradise" and now I know the reason.

My parents and I share the same way to look at the world, and that's why going to the mountains the way we go is always a gift they give to me.

    Olivier: you MUST go once as Dolomites are wonderful and wild and unique!

    Ina: the main peak (the one you see in this shot) is called Croda Granda and belongs to Pale di San Martino chain, Dolomiti Bellunesi.
