Here we are in Brescia, in the north of Italy. It’s August 12th and we are about 2000m high. We have set up the tent for the night, we prepare to sleep a few hours and then wake up, capture some shooting stars and head towards the top (about 3100m).

It was the first time ever I tried to capture stars. Not that easy but pretty satisfied with my first shot. Picture taken at the Zwickauer Hütte in South Tyrol, 3000 a.s.l

Wake up at 4 o’clock in the morning. Take the backpack, prepared the night before and get in the car. About 300km separate us from the destination. We reach the place around 7 AM. All parking lots are free and there is no one around. We walk towards the lake, that is not far from the parking lot and we see a lady who reads immersed in the silence of this magical place. To break the silence only a few birds and the camera shutter that tries to capture that incredible light.

It’s really simple to visit this lake, it’s only 30 min from the city of Bolzano (Trentinto Alto Adige). I suggest to go there just before the sunset, to enjoy the wonderful reflection of Latemar, a group of mountains that belongs to the Dolomites.

Since I started my new job in the hearth of the Dolomites I can choose plenty of ways to reach my work place. One of them lets you drive through the best nature scenery you could imagine. And taking a break for a breathtaking moment enjoying this lake and this mountains is a must.

According to legends, once upon a time there was a mermaid living in the lake, which wizard Masaré was in love with. In order to seduce her, the witch Lanwerda advised him to dress up as jewel merchant and throw a rainbow from Mt Catinaccio to Mt Latemar. That is what he did, but he forgot to dress up. So the beautiful mermaid detected him and forever disappeared in Lake Carezza. The wizard was angry and threw all the pieces of the rainbow as well as the jewels into the waters. That’s why it still features rainbow colours.

On a drive through the mountains of Dolomites in the Italian province of South Tyrol, we came across this lake, which was hidden between mountains and pine trees. The green color of the lake is said to be caused by underwater crystals. Needless to say the view was nothing short of spectacular.

Have you ever tryed that feel when you are in the wild and it offers you some insane views that you will never forget? Well this is one of that moment. Here I was in the ruins of a First World War’s fort at 1.908 mt.

My problem with posing (when I do it - just like in this photo) is that I kinda get lost, looking at the horizon. What the lens did not capture (shame really because it would have made an excellent b-roll) is me rolling a cigarette and enjoying the next 15’, taking in all this beauty. Today actually, someone told me that this kind of scenery / location / weather might be depressing. I don’t take depression lightly, since I had a quick “brush” with that monster myself. Nevertheless, I like to see the diversity in experience people have when looking at my pictures. I was happy in this one btw…

I always dreamed of going early in the morning on touring skis up into the mountains. This year I made this dream come true. We were skiing in and around Cavalese teaching the kids how to ski. One day I rented a second pair of alpine skis and the next morning at 4 am the adventure began. After 3 hrs of skiing, walking upwards to 2300m, I spent the morning on the peak waiting for the sun to come out. Nothing but silence and the freezing cold in this thin air, so peaceful and rewarding. I love it.

Late summer on the Peak Seceda, the meadows were mowed one last time and the rest of the first snow has not melted yet! The autumnal colours gain the upper hand!

We did a short road trip to the Dolomites (5hrs driving). We stopped the car almost every 5 meters because of the beautiful landscape. Reminded me to take the time and appreciate what is around you.

It’s always fun to wait for the dark in a tent in the middle of the forest! This was taken this summer during a hiking trip in Dolomites, Italy.

I captured this beautiful mountain scape scene while driving through Passo Fedaia in northern Italy. It was early in the morning, and the light was gentle so you could see the layers of the landscape extend out toward the rugged mountains in the back.

We were in a mountain near where I live, that day was incredibly foggy, it was literally like walking in the clouds.
