What you see in this blog are impressions, reflections, and historical events from my journey. I work with analog photography. The final photos will follow later.

Passo Falzarego (1)
Started where I left off two years ago. With analogue camera this time. Amazing place, dominated by Monte Lagozuoi.
First a story: once there was a king, the king of Fanes. He wasn’t very kind to his people. He betrayed them. Big mistake. After that, he turned into stone. As if told in ‘Ladin’, Faúza Règo mean false king.

Col di Lana
Name sounds very gentle. And it surely is a beautiful mountain in the Dolomites. But what is that carve ‘running up’? During WW1 this was the scene of heavy fightings where many Italians died. They call it ‘Col di Sangue’, Blood Hill. Well, that is less gentle. A long meandering trench marks the mountain.
The mountain is vulcanic in origin. But it’s present shape is the result of the hostilities of WW1 when the mountain was blown to smithereens.

Col di Lana, top.
