Jacopo came to visit me in
Valtellina on Boxing Day: even though it was raining we still wanted to take the opportunity to do some
hiking up the mountains and so we did. in the company of my sister we drove to
Val Masino and spent the morning around
Sasso Remenno. I was mesmerised by the sight of those
snowy heights in the mist and once again took many photographs.
Sasso Remenno:
Nikon FM - Lomography Color Negative 400
the area takes its name from the
Sasso di Remenno -
Rock of Remenno: apparently
the biggest rock in Europe which makes the location a popular one among climbers. we are no climbers though we enjoyed our morning in
Val Masino a lot and once again the
rainy weather made the landscape around us look more fascinating than ever!
P.S. one more post dedicated to Sasso Remenno to come soon!
I love nature and I love taking pictures in the wild side, and these photos and this place are just amazing! the colors are so intense that makes me think in a fantasy tale! the first one is my favourite. Love Polly
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diogo! I wasn't sure wether my favourite could be the first or the second one... now I think I've made up my mind and I like the first one the most.
DeleteI have never really pictures Italy with rocky mountains but what a pleasant surprise!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shy! I'm glad you like this less common view of Italy!
DeleteI agree about the mist, it s amazing how mystic and dimensional it can be in the photos, my hiking group guide probably wouldn't agree, but still:) Beautiful nature!
ReplyDeleteMist is beautiful in photographs, I won't ever change my mind about it. Though sunny days can be great when you're out there hiking!
Deletewhat a dreamy landscape. i'm too much of a chicken to climb, but i must admit i'd be so beautiful!
ReplyDelete(i shared the first one on pinterest, it's great)
Thank you, Silvia! I'm glad you like it so much that you've shared it on Pinterest! When I was 11 or 12 I have tried climbing a couple of times... not my thing, really!
DeleteWow - these are so very beautiful! Actually quite unreal altogether and now I want to go there immediately - like RIGHT NOW.
