ElisabettaFor this #MountainMonday I would like to talk about an amazing initiative brought on by the Italian Alpine Club from Livinallongo (BL).
It's called "Adopt a trail".
Trails are the threads the connect our towns, valleys, the lives of the people that live and have lived our mountains.
The maintenance of these trails is voluntary, every section has to clean, track and do a yearly maintenance on hundreds of km.

ChrizzlyJust came back from a week in Olang (South Tyrol) and Canazei (Trentino area) 🇮🇹
A week of hiking, steep mountaintops and amazing national park landscapes in the Dolomites.
Took over 2400 images in total - when I'm done editing, I'll be posting some of my favourites in the upcoming weeks!

“PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: On 3 July 2022, a portion of the Marmolada glacier, near Punta Rocca, collapsed and caused the death of 11 mountaineers. This dramatic event had a considerable impact on the media, and authorities were concerned about the risk that other collapses might occur in this and other glaciers of the Dolomites, a well-renowned mountain region of the southeastern Alps and one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. [They] analyzed the possible causes of the collapse by developing a three-dimensional thermo-mechanical model. The analysis concluded that the collapse was caused by increased internal ice temperature and the development of a dense network of fractures, reducing the ice shear strength, with melting water that possibly contributed by increasing the basal pressure. [They] also showed that collapsing conditions can be identified with a simplified model version approximating the sliding basal surface as a plane with a slope equal to the surface slope. The developed approach can be used in hazard identification and risk analysis of mountain glaciers…”

Claire 🌻@michael Not done any via ferrata for many years since a visit to Arabba in the #Dolomites. Would love to do some again.
A/B testing latest refinements (more depth, better details in clouds/highlights and contrast in mid tones). First image is the new version. Next stop double size, 14x10"...

Had to prepare new silver nitrate solution last night and made a new test print of a moody moment from one of my fave hikes in the Dolomites...
(The highlights need a little more refinement)
