I took this photo in February 2015 in Colfosco which is in the Dolomites, Northern Italy. My husband and I travelled here to ski and it was our first ski trip in Europe and, in fact, my first trip to Europe. Everything about Colfosco and the Dolomites was spectacular, it was as if we lived in fairyland for a week. This picturesque scene was the view from the front of our accommodation. A truly memorable trip and location. We will return.
