sassongher (2.665 m), the imposing limestone mountain that looms over corvara, treated with photoscape's 'aquarelle' filter.
notice how little snow there is on the hillside! despite this lack of snow, the slopes were in very good condition thanks to lots of artificial snow, and skiing was easy and great fun.
thank you for your visits, comments and advice! they're very much appreciated!

@Dany Hèm-Kervran: thanks, dany!
@James: perhaps the intensity of the sky does come from the 'aquarelle' filter, perhaps also from the 'clouds' overlay that i applied sparingly. however, the sky in the original, unfiltered version was almost quite as intense. maybe it was the atmospheric conditions that day ...
@Francisco Romero: gracias, francisco!
@Carol: thanks, carol!
@Alun: thanks, alun! the dolomites are an amazing place indeed!
@Elaine Hancock: skiing on artificial snow was quite good, better even than on some 'natural' snow ... ;-)
@Hilde V. Morin: looking forward to more of mt. hood!
