Baita Segantini

This photo was taken in the autumn of 2010 one evening. The sky had been covered with clouds and one could hardly see the little house. The suddenly there was an opening for a few minutes with this view and then closing afterwards again. I was there with a group of photographers and only some of them got a shot as the others were not ready or did not believe the clouds would open up

Taken with a Canon 1Ds mkIII and Canon 16-35 f/2.8L II @17mm, f/8, 1/80s, ISO 100. A single exposure developed in Lightroom.

Thanks everybody for the comments. The location is in the Dolomites in Italy. Google for Baita Segantini and you will find much more info about this famous place. It's even on a wall paper on Windows 7 in the Italian version.
