Monte Civetta (El Zuìta in ladino veneto), vista dal col de la PUINA

The imposing summit of Monte Civetta rises above the Col de la Puina, its jagged ridges etched against a brooding sky. Sunlight breaks through the clouds, casting golden beams across the lush green valley below, while low-hanging mist clings to the forested slopes. This striking contrast between light and shadow captures the raw, untamed beauty of the Dolomites. The scene evokes a sense of solitude and grandeur, highlighting nature’s power and serenity in equal measure. Photographer Sergey Bikov frames the moment with precision, emphasizing the mountain’s dominance over the landscape.
