LAND OF CORAL - MOUNTAINS OF DREAMS

The Dolomites part 4

by Cliff Booker



These photographs were all captured in the month of June in the central Dolomites, in an area to the north of the Marmolada and centred on the beautiful town of Arabba. The images will feature not only the fascinating flora but also the remarkable scenery of the region and will be interspersed with shots taken during our stints as wildflower walk leaders for Collett's Mountain Holidays.
