Spires in the cloud
Dolomites · 12 September 2025
A jagged crest half-swallowed by cloud, pale scree runnels streaking down through the forest below. The weather here turns fast enough that a clear ridge and a hidden one are often the same view twenty minutes apart. The spires are what limestone does when it erodes along vertical cracks: the joints widen into gullies, and the rock between them is left standing as towers, which is why the Dolomites look like organ pipes and the granite Alps do not.
Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
