Strawberry festival 2012 in Martell

Every year on the last weekend in June the Martell Valley celebrates  the strawberry festival. The festival represents the traditional start of strawberry picking in the highest mountain-strawberry cultivating area in Europe.

Here a few pics I took last Saturday, June 23, 2012.

Country Girl Gherdëina

Oh yes, in the middle of the Alps there are also Country Girls. Up until 2 months ago I didn't even know, that they exist.

The "Country Girls Gherdëina" is a dance group from Val Gardena, and because I can not show their joy and happyness with a photo, I've made a research and found this nice little video.

The video was shot last summer on Monte Pana, in the background you can see one of the most beautiful mountains in the Alps, the Sassolungo.
