Epic. Stunning. Otherworldly. Majestic.
These were all words that my inaugural Dolomites workshop students used to describe the mountains, meadows, lakes and peaks of the locations we visited and photographed this spring. We had some beautifully dramatic weather, but it only seemed to rain when we weren’t out photographing and the storms left behind some wonderfully photogenic clouds. From our base in Corvara in Badia, we took gondolas and funiculars to high mountain areas, and then spent a night in a rustic high-mountain Rifugio (refuge) to be able to get early light the next morning. We finished our week in Verona, where we learned about the origins of that ancient town and, finally, took in the opera Aida in Verona’s 1st Century Roman amphitheater.
Epic, indeed.
