From a morning hike earlier this spring. Looking down on the fjord with the weather and the light rapidly changing.

I stayed in val d’orcia three days and every morning i waked up at 5 a.m to shoot the sunrise. The first attempts were not lucky, with no fog and no golden light. The last day the conditions of weathher improved and the light and the fog created a perfect atmosphere. I took this picture 20 minutes later the previous image i uploaded some week ago. The most photographers were gone but i decided to wait some minutes more hoping in some extra fog. I was wery lucky because in just some minutes the fog started to fill the entire valley while the rising of the sun started to illuminated the hills.
In the same time a flock flyed over the podere creating a magic atmosphere ( I taked something like 152 shot for having the birds in the right position 😀 ). Hope you enjoy it!

There are several tidewater glaciers and even more alpine glaciers in Glacier Bay. The tallest of these ranges, the Fairweather Range, features mountains that stretch as high as 15,320 feet taller than Mt. Rainier and Mt. Shasta! In fact, Mt. Fairweather is taller than any of the mountains in the other 49 states. Advancing glaciers flow forward about three to six feet each day. Depending on the length of the glacier and the steepness of the valley it flows through, the ice at the front of the glacier is anywhere between 75 and 200 years old. Snow that fell in the high mountains 200 years ago when the U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed, breaks off as ice today.
