After spending the previous ten days in Tuscany and Cinque Terre last year, we headed for the Italian Alps known as the Dolomites for a few days. The weather forecast was not promising as record cold, rain and snow was forecast. We actually had to visit an outdoor store to get some winter clothing. For once, the forecast was accurate but our first day there was beautiful. As we approached the small town of Borca di Cadore (population 809) we were lucky to see this magnificent view of Mount Antelao, which is the highest mountain in the Dolomites (aka King of the Dolomites), measuring a little over 10,000 feet. The mountain was initially hidden by low clouds that seemed to be playing a game of hide and seek with us. Being patient, we pulled over and decided to play a waiting game with it. Our patience was rewarded as the clouds began to clear and gave us this great look at the mountain.
