“Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike” – John F Kennedy

            This shot was taken on the Alpe di Siusi plateau (Italy), right before the beautiful town of Località Compatsch. 

There is no photoshop manipulation in this picture. The cyclist is made of metal and be seen on the right side of the road. The clouds were hanging low over the Punta Euringer. By the way, Gustav Euringer  (1854-1922), a mountaineer from Augsburg (Germany), ascended together with Bernhard G. Battista for the first time the Euringer in 1884. Thus, the two climbers are considered as the first ascent of Euringer which they defeated from the south wall (third level of difficulty).

At 56 square kilometres, the Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm is the largest mountain plateau in Europe. For me, this is certainly Europe’s most beautiful and largest high-altitude plateau.

The air on the plateau is so pure and pristine it was totally amazing.

This is a single shot taken with a Sony Alpha 6000 Camera and a Samyang 12 mm ultra-wide lens end of October 2016. 

Thank you for taking the time to look. Hope you enjoy and potentially learn something! Big thanks to the amazing Flickr family out there!
