Mammoth

The mammoth task begins of sorting out our Dolomites trip photographs. I took 625 digital and another 90 medium format negatives arrive tonight… oh brother.

I’m listening to the iTunes playlist we took with us as we drove up and down some of the Dolomites hair-raising roads, I wish I was back there *sniff* We had the most bonkers weather too for a July in Italy: 35 degree heatwave, snow, driving hail the size of axe heads… sometimes within hours of each other. Global warming eh?

Anyway, here’s one completed, 657250262374 to go:

Marmolada and Gran Vernel

There’ll be more to come on my Flickr later.

I wish I had a plate of canerdeli and deer right now.

    I’ve been doing a website for some apartments in Le Marche this week, and all the time I was thinking, “I wish they’d got Bobble to take the pics, she’d really know how to get this place looking right”.

    Stunning photo. Beautiful contrast.

    I was in Greece around the same time (and Italy too, briefly), but left before the temperature soared to the high point of 46 degrees C. (Gulp).
    But it was warm all the time. Your Dolomitic weather sounds bonkers, and very confusing. Becoming confused while up the side of a mountain is not a good thing, I suspect.

    Pete - you must go, and oh you flatterer.
    Mike - Thankees. It is very hard to get photos at altitude that pierce the atmospheric conditions - mist mist and more mist.
    Brolo and A you both must go, though of course separately!
