Thank you Dave and Merry Jo,it was a lovely little church that must have seen a lot of history including battles in the 1st World War when the Italians and Austrians fought over the Dolomites.The whole area is fantastic and a photographers dream.More coming as we took another walk the next day and then a drive through more of the Dolomites as we headed back towards Venice.It reminds us very much of the Rockies in the USA and Canada although here you seem to be so close to them here.
