Dancers in the sky

in #hive-194913last year

Two days ago I was in Aosta valley, on Alps.

These mountains are a paradise for ski mountaineers: over 2000 meters snow was fresh and high, despite of it hasn't snowed so much in last months.

I love Grand Combin, one of the biggest mountains in Alps, between Italy and Switzerland (summit is totally in Switzerland). It is 4314 meters high and its silhouette, in the highest part, seems like a Concorde at takeoff.

I was in Aosta centre at evening, and suddenly many crows started to fly in the sky and towards the faraway massive.

I have taken most of these pictures with a tele (200mm, F4) and shooting speed between 1/160 and 1/320.

I love the harmony and the lightness of birds flight against this rocky imposing mountain, my favorite italian mountain.
Here my post about my ascent through south east ridge

The birds dance because they are always joyous 😁

The birds are actually looking so lovely up there

It looks like they are giving some kind of massage.

Yay! 🤗

For some reason, I associate these birds with Chinese calligraphy.

I like this association!

The sight is even more spectacular when the birds are moving across the sky in the same beautiful line.

Demasiado bello 💖 esas montañas son un sueño para cualquiera que desea pasar un tiempo 🎿 esquiando y relajado.

Thank you!

An incredible sight. How high it is, that birds can fly there, it's incredible

They were not on the top on the mountain, they were lower in these pics. By the way, there are birds that can fly over 6000 meters in Himalaya, they follow climbers to get food.
