Lagazuoi - a Moody Mountain - a photo on Flickriver

            Lagazuoi stands 2700 meters tall, well that's not very tall as compared to our Himalayan range, but what they lack in height, they make it up in terms of rugged masculine brawn. The mountains which looked peaceful & tranquil during the day, suddenly turned coat with the dusk, not unlike the infamous Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde. The white cotton-puff cumulonimbus clouds which adorned the mountains during the day, are slowly replaced by the ominous grey Nimbostratus, a sure sign of thunderstorms lurking ahead. The sol dips at the horizon to a Van Gogh's favorite yellow ochre strains, as the cold mist rolls in from the freezing eastern valleys. This hypnotising tug of war between the elements of nature mysteriously pulls at your photographer's foolish instincts and you slide from the top of the Lagazuoi, down into the valley, as rocks & stones run faster under your feet to the bottomless abyss. The torn snow linen bed cover of the valley, which looked beguilingly innocent from the top, suddenly turns finger numbingly frosty as you tumble to a stop. You exhale thrice in your palms, apply spit & sweat on the rough side of the camera, a habit that hasn't gone from the days of you bowling the opening fast spell on a cricket field. The shots are composed, bracketed & taken, you smile & jump as you vociferously appeal, echoed by the rest of the ten mountains...."Howzzzzaaaaaat!"
