The rain stopped suddenly and the clouds seemed to flow over the mountains. I had only a few minutes to take this shot before the rain continued. Navis Valley, Tyrol, Austria 2017.

Just in case the non German-speakers are confused - ALM is the German term for an alpine pasture ...

Taken on a hill near to Saltria overlooking Sassolungo and Sassopiatto just after the sun had emerged above the distant hills.

Behind the trees in the background there are the football fields of the club where two of my three brothers and I used to play football. The third brother didn't play football, because he has two left feet.

Anyone who goes to Val Gardena in South Tyrol can experience first hand how one of the most impressive mountains in the world was created from the ancient sea Thethys. Because here are the Dolomites, which have been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
