Here's one of a few sunsets that I've captured of this range from different vantage points. I delayed posting this one because something is bothering me about it and I'm not sure what. Maybe the purplish hue in the fields or need for more contrast with the mountains, I'm not sure. What do you...

A couple pictures of some flowering trees in the village taken the other evening with the mountains as a backdrop. I'm glad I've had time to immortalize some of the things in bloom while they last, the season is moving quickly here. C&C welcome. April In The Alps by Amy Earl posted Apr 26, 2020...
