SASSOLUNGO

The jagged peaks of Italy's Dolomites in the eastern Alps are made of magnesium-rich limestone known as dolomite, formed some 250 million years ago from coral reefs in a subtropical ocean. The rocks were subsequently uplifted by the collision of the European and African tectonic plates. I spent all morning waiting for the mountain to clear and when it did I used my telephoto lens to make a tight composition that emphasises the drama of its cloudy embrace.
