Rio della Rocca

The north face of Rio della Rocca in the comune of  Castellarano presents a  strange landscape due to the erosion of the very soft sandy rock that it is made up of.

I am fascinated by this place, but I have found it really difficult over several visits to translate this magical place into photographs. For one thing it is very difficult to walk on the sloping rock that crumbles underfoot, meaning that getting to the right spot to take a picture is mostly impossible.

 The low misty December sun  gave me perfect light, with the leafless trees contrasting against the rocks.
As a tripod was out of the question here, a monopod was useful  to steady the camera.
