I shot this little panorama from the Lagazuoi Refuge, that is on the peak of Mount Lagazuoi above the Falzarego Pass (Dolomites).

I went there last summer, the path to reach this point was quite frightening because of the height, that day clouds covered everything and we had to climb very carefully if we didn't want to vanish into thin air. Luckily more than half of the track was indoor, because we chose to climb into the restored tunnels, trenches and emplacements where soldiers fought the first world war.

Hello!

I am finally back from my ( too short ) trip to Patagonia ( Chile & Argentina ) this mid April 2011



let me tell you a short story behind this image .. with my poor english ( I am sorry for that )

The night before we were backpacking in "Chileno " camp , shelter already closed .. no one around .. alone in the dark forest by the river .
this night was frozen , the temperature reached - 6 ° C . we were supposed to get up very early ( 5.30 AM ) to have the time to reach the peaks for sunrise ...

My friend Cyril has left the tent during the night because he was too cold .. I was looking for him at 5.30 AM .. I saw something like his headlight in the night .. I called him but no one answered ..

Then I realized .. this is not my friend and his lamp ... these are EYES .. of a creature .. staring at me .. and now it approach .. I stepped back in the tent .. with moonlight I saw the shape of a big cat x4 .. a PUMA , in fact .. ! mmh
I don't know the danger about this animal .. and I am a very anxious person .. So it was a special moment !

we finally reached the peaks just before this clear sunrise after 2h route in the forests and rocks .

This is TORRES DEL PAINE . CHILE .


This image, even though maybe a bit classical in its vision , is unfortunatly almost the only one on which we can really behold the magnificience and surreal appearance of these unearthly peaks ..

We had terrible conditions during our trek , very heavy bags ( 25 Kg ) and too fast and tired on the tracks .. I would have love to capture these landscapes with dramatic light and abstract vision but I definetly need more time in the field , .. to compose, to FEEL nature around.

I hope to go back for at least 1 month .

I still have the idea of organizing a workshop there, it would be amazing ; you can send me a note if you feel interested to learn photography in these areas with me .

If you are interested to buy the picture, I have the same without the person ( me ) .

Sunday afternoon... I was quite upset cause of... lots of things turning bad. But nothing quite important.

Anyway, I had to move and wanted to go the the forest, but there is a lot of hunters and a lot of accidents aaaaaand i didn't want to take the risk to be shot (XD) so i came to the river of my childhood.

The place was totally in shadow but the water's colors were astonishing, very clear and blue. So I doddled a loooong time with long exposures and so on.

I got this shot at last, and I thought it was quite representative of what i seek right now, in my relationship with nature.
To be a part of, but not invasive.

Hope you like it. And sorry for my bad english

Dimanche après midi... J'étais de mauvaise humeur à cause d'un tas de petites contrariétés. Rien de bien grave, mais une sorte de trop plein.

J'avais besoin de bouger. J'ai d'abord voulu aller en forêt, mais le dimanche il y a pas mal de chasseurs dans le coin, et pas mal d'accidents de chasse aussi. J'ai pas voulu prendre le risque de me faire tirer dessus, donc je suis allée me poser à la rivière où j'allais avec mes parents quand j'étais petite (et même plus tard ).

L'endroit était totalement dans l'ombre, mais l'eau avait des couleurs superbes. Je me suis donc amusée avec des poses longues pendant un looooong moment, jusqu'à obtenir cette prise que j'ai trouvé satisfaisante et très représentative de mon rapport avec la nature, ou du moins de ce que je cherche dans ce rapport en ce moment.

Être à nouveau une part d'elle, sans être invasive. S'y fondre, pour résumer.

Voilà voilà, j'espère que ça vous plaira, désolée pour le pavé!
