Silent Valley
The beautiful, unspoiled, relatively isolated (until I opened my big mouth) Val di Funes, in the northern part of the Italian Dolomites. Each year when we visit the Dolomites (home from home – remember I AM a marmot), we try to get to spend a few hours, with a picnic (make mine an Asti Spumante!) in this peaceful and amazing place. Unfortunately, the vista here faces north – we need to try and get here earlier/later in the day for a clearer shot of those jagged spires.

Krys Bailey replied
Thank you so much! I really must get here when the sun is on the peaks and not behind them. Perhaps in a week or two, when we are in the area…...... ;o)

Andy Mueller
I see this shot and can ONLY imagine myself walking on that road, smelling the smells, feeling the heat and slight breeze, maybe hearing some goats or cows in ta far distant field. LOVE this image!!!
Krys Bailey replied
Thanks Andy! You would certainly love it here. Cows and goats are high on the list of animals to be seen, but moreso are millions of butterflies if you get there at the right time of the year!

Krys…I can see you’ve been photoshopping again. Geeze, this just can’t be real. How do you layer these together? Didn’t you use these clouds and sky in the last piece? Lol…as usual, another great piece of art posing as a photo.
Krys Bailey replied
Excuse me, Ed! If I had photoshopped this, I’d have done a much more impressive job! ;o) Not that I’m aversed to a bit of cheating, but not on this one….........

Great idea, Al! Make sure you visit the Dolomites in Italy if you like these dramatic mountains. Email me if you want any pointers to good places to visit – after all – I AM a marmot…........... :o)

You handle a camera pretty well for a marmot! ;-) Joking aside, this is a great image. I don’t know of anything quite like it in the U.S.
Krys Bailey replied
Thanks John. The Canon DSLRs are perfect for marmot paws! ;o) I don’t think there is anything quite like the Dolomites in the whole world – each peak is unique – that is why I love them!

Georgous scene! If this were a painting, I’d think the sky was a little overdone, but here it is in its natural splendor! I really like the fence ligning the road too. Great shot!
Krys Bailey replied
Thank you for your kind words! Funny that nature’s skies can be over the top! ;o)
