“I took these photographs in August 2010 in the Dolomites — a section of the Alps located in northeastern Italy. The Dolomites are named for a type of carbonate rock that has a distinct pale rosy-orange hue.

That’s a dramatic photograph. I wasn’t aware of a place where agriculture meets geology in quite this way; the closest thing I can think of is the rice terraces of southeast Asia.

The Sassolungo/Saslong from the south, I think, with the città dei sassi on the right which you pass through on the Sellaronda ski tour. Never seen it from that vantage point, though, very striking – you don’t get an idea of how much drop-off there is over the crest from the shallow eastern slope, of course.
That big alp – I think that’s the Sassopiatto – is covered in avalanche fencing in the winter, which is a bit of a blemish, but better than being buried in a million tons of snow…
