Red evening on Tre Cime di Lavaredo

Rifugio A. Locatelli (Dreizinnenhutte) and Chiesetta Alpina.

I had walked from the refuge just before the golden hour and found a spot up on the path. The golden hour was nice, the view of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo woth the light of the setting sun on the peaks was amazing. I wanted to wait a bit longer to have the lights in the windows and then the magic began. The sun was setting in the clouds and all of a sudden he valley turned red. I felt myself like a Martian.

I was on that very spot for an hour and didn't change the position of my camera at all. Working on the final image I used a time blending technique compressing all of the best impressions of this hour in one image.
