The story behind the image

The Tre Cime di Lavaredo, also called the Drei Zinnen, are three distinctive peaks, in the Sexten Dolomites of northeastern Italy. They are probably one of the best-known mountain groups in the Alps and therefore worth a visit. After a full day of hiking in the rain, we arrived at the Drei Zinnen Hütte and with that, at the place where we could admire the magnificent rock structure. Alas, the clouds where so thick and heavy, we could barely see anything. With a tiny bit of hope, I went to sleep and got up early morning to hunt the sunrise at Tre Cime. I waited and I waited but Tre Cime were not ready to show their glorious features to me. Hiking around and around I finally got this shot where Cima Piccola/Kleine Zinne ("little peak") showed me her feet while a bird of prey circled around, looking for that tasty breakfast.

The Cima Grande has an elevation of 2,999 metres (9,839 ft). It stands between the Cima Piccola, at 2,857 metres (9,373 ft), and the Cima Ovest, at 2,973 metres (9,754 ft).

This photo was taken in the morning on a very misty/cloudy day.
