Valle di Cogne - River
This photograph of the Valle di Cogne was taken in October 2000. A cold morning of hiking in this valley of the Italian alps was rewarded with the warmth of the sun as it crested the surrounding mountains. A thin veneer of cloud cover across a blue sky illuminates the sky in this black and white print as the stones in the almost dry riverbed lead the viewer toward the mountains. Interestingly less than a week after this photo was taken there was massive flooding in this valley causing widespread destruction of villages and homes.
