Majestic peaks (in Explore 13-01-2022)
One of the most iconic places in the Dolomites is without doubt the Drei Zinnen/Tre Cime massive.
You can make a trip around this wonderful massive, but be prepared to do it with lots of other enthusiasts who want to do the same. Even in October it was extremely busy, so in summer it must be a tourist highway with some traffic jams.
But also it is easy to evade this when coming up to this point you can walk down a little further to discover more (and even better) wonderful scenery, that I will show later.
This shot BTW took me a lot of time to find, and also in post-processing it was a difficult one. I wanted to show the dimensions of the peaks, but very close there was a strong backlight so I couldn't find a decent angle. At the top the backlight too was very prominent, it was difficult to get some contrast on the one hand, and on the other to get some light on the peaks that were at most places in a lot of shade.
By stitching 6 shots in front of the hotel and church, I could show a little bit how impressive they are, and when you look at the middle peak there are two black dots, that you might think these are birds, but in fact they are small airplanes.
