Alpen-Panoramen - Panorama: La Porta di Prada: south side

Details
Location:	Porta di Prada (1635 m)	by:	Stefano Caldera
Area:	Bergamasker Alpen	Date:	25 Oct 2009

The Porta di Prada ("Door of Prada", "Gateway of Prada", I don't know how to translate it) doesn't have anything to do with the elite italian fashion label. It is 'only' a beautiful limestone formation in the Grigne Group, due to the erosion of an ancient cave. In my opinion the south side is less beautiful than the north, I will upload a panoramic even from there (it was in backlight).

Here is a picture from north:

Short but beautiful. I guess you had to go a bit beside the way downhill in order to get the cross in the middle of the hole. LG Robert

Thanks!

Yes Robert, great look! Another reason is that from the path the sky is not visible in the hole. Mainly I went a bit beside for this

In my opinion the depth of this panorama is exceptionally fine. The quality of the perspective is given by a double effect. Left with the Valle di Prada, right with the sky in the hole of the rock. Bravissimo !
