Something I discovered while roaming around the Italian Dolomites this fall was that larches shine best when lit from behind. Unlike other fall trees which look equally good with front light, larches have thin needles which glow in their entirety when the sun shines through them, creating a fantastic effect that feels like watching a lit torch. This high alpine lake was the perfect place to watch that magic happen as it was surrounded by a sea of the deciduous conifers that lit up fantastically with the rising sun, justifying the decision to hike up here in the predawn light.

That's lake Federa, at Croda da Lago, near Cortina d'Ampezzo in northern Italy, if anyone was wondering.

And yeah, larches at autumn are unbelievable there, one of my favourite places to enjoy it.

Breathtaking. I love the Dolomites, such a beautiful and often bizzare landscape.

“The trees like torches blazed with light” - anyone else have the dwarves in The Hobbit singing in their heads?

I rode up the Passo Pordoi on my way to watch a mountain stage of the Giro during my racing years. The majesty of the Dolomiti from any angle is extraordinary.
