20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Drone/Aerial
Snake Pass under snow

The Dolomites in northern Italy have a number of winding mountain passes. But Passo Giau near to Cortina d'Ampezzo has this beautiful winding road halfway up. In January 2022, I took a trip to the area and wanted to capture this pass covered in snow. It took a little time to find a spot to park then I had to walk back down to find a spot to send up my drone to get a top down view.
