Breaking Fast. Lago di
Sorapis in the Dolomites
of Italy is a very unique
location in the Alps due
to its distinct turquoise
color that you just don’t
see very often. The water
gets its color from glacier
sediment runoff, and that
made for an amazing array
of color when combined
with purple flowers, green
foliage and a blue sky
being revealed by swirling
clouds. The day began
with lots of fog and no view
of the mountain. I was set
up and ready to shoot,
but with no sign of the
mountain, after an hour or
so I packed up and started
heading out. Just as I was
leaving, the clouds started
opening up, and I hurried
to get set back up and
snap the conditions before
they passed.outdoorphotographer.com December 2019 39
