The small lake visible in the background of the previous photo is the famous Lago delle Baste, here captured with the reflection of Mount Pelmo and a few friendly donkeys accompanying the flock of sheep.
The composition may not be the most original and the sky not particularly dramatic, but the presence of the two white donkeys on the left, with the foal seeking its mother’s affection, makes it stand out a bit from the countless similar shots you can find online.

Mondeval is one of the most iconic and picturesque corners of the Ampezzo Dolomites, a place steeped in history and prehistory alike.
It is renowned for the discovery of the “Uomo di Mondeval” (“Man of Mondeval”), a Mesolithic skeleton dating back roughly 7,500 years, unearthed in 1987 within a rock shelter (visible in the photo) to the left of the grazing flock of sheep, a presence that, to my eye, adds a poetic touch to the scene.
Still blissfully untouched by the “Instagram flip-flop crowd,” Mondeval rewards those willing to put in a bit of effort to reach it. The payoff is extraordinary: sweeping views of some of the Dolomites’ most majestic peaks, including Mount Civetta (veiled by clouds here) and Mount Pelmo, proudly dominating the horizon.
After several attempts over the years, last week I finally managed to find satisfying light conditions to do justice to this magnificent place.
