Crown of Fire

Cadini di Misurina, Dolomites · 2024

Bathed in fleeting alpenglow, the Cadini di Misurina rise like a citadel carved by time — an incandescent crown upon the Dolomites, where light bends in reverence.

— About the series

The Dolomites at first light.

Sherry Keene's Dolomites work follows the alpine dawn — the minutes when the Cadini, Tre Cime, and the peaks above Braies catch fire against a cold blue sky, and the lakes below remain in shadow. High-altitude quiet, held still.

These photographs are part of the Alpine Silence series, with multiple selections nominated for the 1839 Awards Photographer of the Year.
