I love this sub so much.
99.9% of the posts here I upvote because ya'll just provide picture after picture of nature's beauty.
No politics.
No hate.
No pop culture references.
No memes.
No photoshopping or CGI.
Just a bunch of neat, interesting, and aesthetically pleasing photos of places I'll never get to visit.
Sorry to gush. I just really appreciate this sub and all the cool people who post these great photos.

May I ask where specifically in the Dolomites? I might go looking for it
TaneliLahtinen OP t1_izgdi7d wrote
This is actually from Seceda. Probably if you’d look right you could see the famous peaks 😊
antoWho t1_izge85v wrote
I thought it might have been Seceda, but usually pictures are taken form a different perspective so I wasn't sure (and identifying mountains is much easier than identifying meadows)

What's the green stuff? It's hard to tell the scale from the photo. Could be moss, grass, or even trees.

Just reading the first sentence, I thought you were memeing. "Am Redditor, I never go outside"
Made me laugh.

My sister and I visited the Dolomites with a family that needed nannies during a ski trip in the 80's. The parents skied in the mornings and paid for us to take ski lessons in the afternoons.
We were a couple of newbies but the Dolomites made us feel like we were in the big leagues. Even the bunny slopes were surrounded by mountains, only reachable by gondola...unforgettable.
Everyone was bilingual up there--Italian and German, and I guess they didn't see many Americans in that part of Italy. The shopkeepers would see our freckles, hear our terrible Italian, and try to help us out by switching to German. We would understand nothing, respond in Italian, and explain that we were American. Then they would get all excited and happy and welcome us to Canazei. This happened every time we ordered apple strudel, all week long. It was pretty awesome to travel to Europe at a time when so many people truly loved Americans.
