   The photo above shows the rising Moon and the sunset-lit  Sella
   Mountains of the Dolomites Ranges in northern Italy. Whether
   illuminated by sunlight or moonlight, the thousands of peaks and
   intriguing rock formations of the Dolomites are among the most
   eye-catching in all of Europe. At sunrise or sunset,  alpenglow
   often baths these peaks in shades of red, pink and orange. In 2009, the
   stunning Dolomites, also referred to as the  Pale Mountains, were
   declared a  UNESCO World Heritage site. Photo taken on October 13,
   2021, at 17:20 local time.

   Photo details: Camera: Canon EOS 1Dx camera; 200 mm; f/8; 1/500 sec
   exposure; ISO1000.
