The Dolomites

   
     We rented a Mercedes-Benz in Verona from Auto Europe and drove north to Lake Garda, Trento, Bolzano and then into the heart of the Sud Tyrol. The Dolomites had been a goal of mine for many years. I had read about them and marveled at the photos I had seen. The above photo is one of the first taken as we climbed one of the many passes on our way to La Villa where we were to stay for just short of a week. Our day trips took us to more and more beauty. If you are looking at this on a desk top you can see the village(s) dotting the narrow road down the valley. On a laptop they may only look like specks of white.
     While not granite like Yosemite National Park near where we live, the cliffs and crags looked much the same -- only they go on valley after valley, pass after pass.
     This is a place that could have been invented by Tolken or Speilberg. Marvelous.
     I'd like to take credit for this photo, but it was taken by my wife, Marietta, who has developed a great eye for things.
