The mighty Dolomite Passes
... valley. The whole valley, which must be about 10 miles across was filled with thick cloud and simply looked like a sea with great mountains surrounding it. One mountain reminded me of mount "Sugarloaf" in Rio, Brazil as it came straight out the cloud just like "Sugarloaf" just about does.
After taking loads more photos of this stunning sight I headed down the pass on yet another really winding road. However it soon headed into all the cloud in the valley and so ...
Onwards to find the Dolomites

... I'm driving slow...very slow...I mean very very very slow...I could walk it faster. For ten minutes I couldn't breath the view was stunning and extremely dramatic, it was abyss all around and the huge rocks of the Dolomites were closing on us from above...I have to admit I don't like them at all those rocks, remember disney's movie fantasia?? If so, there is the part with Stravinsky music, in this piece there is a bold mountain that look exactly like the Dolomites figures...in the ...
