Villnöss/Funes Valley, Dolomites, Alps, Italy"Geislerspitzen/Le Odle"
The abandoned hut of a shepherd. This is a beautiful meadow with a spectacular view onto to "Geislerspitzen/Le Odle" mountains range overviewing the entire valley. Though weather is not at its best the atmosphere was worth taking a photo.
Panorama from three verticals.

It's beautiful. I have a bit of a weakness for mountains, perhaps because I live in the prairies. All I know is that whenever I'm vacationing close to/in the Rockies I take far too many pictures, and not nearly as wonderful as your shot here is.

Thanks a lot!!
Mountains are just wonderful. Though it's really challenging to photograph in the mountains due to the big distances it is one of the best landscapes to photograph in. Normally there is this wild and rough atmosphere which I really like for my photos. You've to consider so much things like planning your tour concering places and outlook, time, weather and especially light. I made the experience that sometimes in the mountains light is not at all as expected. Very often the sun hides really early behind peaks and hills and light is gone. You've big advantage if you know the area in which you photograph.
Nice weekend

Nice picture of a great landscape. I think, we had the same teacher to love this valley!
There is the exact place? It seems to be on the "Günther Messner Steig".

Mensch. Was für ein Zufall.
Ich war dort mit Peter Schatzer. Es ist glaube ich nicht direkt der Günther Messner Steig, sondern ein unausgeschilderter Weg an den Fuß der Aferer Geisler. Fotografiert direkt von der rechten der beiden Wiesen hier: [link]
Traumhaft dort oben!

Greetings!
I had the pleasure to be on hiking tour with him. It begans with the daily view from the balcony to the mountains. On the end of our holiday I remarked, that it must be a dream to climb to hte top of the geissler. The answer: Its not a dream, we can go next year. Its a wonderful experience to hike and climb with somebody who really loves "his" valley.

Hallöchen!
Wir waren vor einigen Jahren mit Peter auf dem Sass Rigais - eine super Sache. Dieses Jahr sind wir mit ihm zum Sonnenaufgang auf den Peitlerkofel - ein absolut beeindruckendes Erlebnis! Allerdings ist die Kälte auch im Hochsommer dortoben nicht zu unterschätzen.
Das Villnöss Tal ist einfach einzigartig! Hab aufgehört zu zählen wie oft wir da jetzt schon waren...

Breathtaking. You are so blessed to live relatively close to such places. I would never want to leave. 
It's nice to have you back.

Thanks a lot. Well relatively near...1000km, spent holiday there. But in fact I always don't want to leave from there. I'm sure you do have such places in the USA too.

I guess some people would say we have places like that; The Grand Canyon for one. But I don't know, I've never felt like I wanted to not leave when I've visited there.

I guess I know what you mean. The italian Dolomites (part of the Alps) are a very special mountain range which differ a lot from the conventional alpine mountain formations.
But I'd love to see the rocky mountains once!!

You're very young yet...and if you really and truly want to see the Rockies, then you will.

That's what I hope! And when I'm 100 years and haven't seen the Rockies then my last journey will be to the rockies, hehe
