Пастораль с овечками

This tranquil scene captures a traditional alpine village in Val di Funes, Italy, during the vibrant autumn season. Nestled among rolling green hills and dense forests of golden larches, the cluster of stone buildings and a prominent church with a slender spire evoke timeless pastoral charm. In the distance, the rugged peaks of the Dolomites rise dramatically, their snow-dusted summits contrasting with the warm hues below. The soft, golden light suggests late afternoon, casting long shadows and enriching the colors of the landscape. This image, by Gori Vasiliy, beautifully encapsulates the quiet beauty and natural grandeur of the Italian Alps.
