Heaven Greeting Earth
Heaven Greeting Earth
A cloudy afternoon at the Seceda Ridgeline, 2,500 meters above sea level. The iconic rock formation in the Italian Dolomites mountain range brings a sense of awe to the viewer. In this photo, the clouds that shrouded the mountain part briefly so that heaven might say hello to the earth and the humans. Only for a split second, however – in photo taken right after this, the mountain had already been covered up again.
