What I like

I'm a lover of any peak, 1000 or 4000 m high, known or unknown; I'm fascinated by the great views, where the sight can go further and further away; catch one of them with my camera is one of my favourite satisfactions. But photos are not the only thing I like to take on the mountains, I also love thrilling rides by skiing a peak down, climbing, mountaineering or simply walking. Those are, for me, the mountains and the amusement!
