Planned for months, but only been away for a few days and new deep memories for a lifetime: Visiting, revisiting and documenting some personal bucket list places in Tyrol/Vinschgau, Sondrio (Valmalenco) and the Engadin, collecting references & research... Landscapes too large & overwhelming, mountain passes (and the human ingenuity to traverse them), vast valleys full of ancient history & struggles (with nature and each other), disappearing glaciers leaving behind incredible structures, waterfalls, canyons, exposed rocks with colorful minerals & textures, new ecosystems...
Getting this final shot of an "old friend" during sunset on our way back on the last evening, an absolute highlight...
Being able to seamlessly travel like that between four countries, more and more a privilege! So hard to understand the growing voices calling for stronger borders, nationalism, ignorant to the real systemic threats...
