Lake Misurina Winter
$22.00
The largest natural lake in the Cadore, held above Auronzo at 1,754 metres. In winter the surface freezes hard enough to walk on, and the spruce line draws a black border around the white. In February of 1956 the speed-skating events of the Cortina Olympics were held here, the last time the discipline was raced on outdoor natural ice. On a still January morning the only sound is the wind off the Sorapis group, and the soft crack of a lake settling under its own weight.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
