The line into the Dolomites

A tiny railway taking the direct route into an unreasonable landscape.

A narrow railway curves through vivid green alpine fields toward villages and sheer Dolomite cliffs.

Field note

The bit outside the frame.

The railway is modest enough to look temporary beside the cliffs, even though it is the part designed to move.

This is one of those views with a built-in direction. The track makes the invitation and the mountains make the argument.
