The Dolomites in the Italian Eastern Alps are among the most striking and well-known regions of the Alps. The rocks, made of dolomite rock, often rise steeply out of the landscape. This is what makes this region so popular with many. It also attracts many photographers. However, as so often, it is worth taking a look at the floor and the details that are hidden there. As in this case. The picture was taken at a dried up river inlet to a lake. The valley was in the shade for a long time in the morning, which allowed the nightly frost to last particularly long. The cracks in the mud have created interesting structures and combined with the frozen grass in the soft morning light, they have created a harmonious picture.
