Fiume Fella

Crossing the Fella river (a tributary of Fiume Tagliamento), which meanders freely in his wide bed. A new album is opened with this image, named "Alpine passes - 1997". A trip on a "Kawasaki VN15 Classic" motorcycle from Graz to Nizza over a lot of Alpine passes in Austria, Italy, Switzeland and France. Most of the images are new scans of slides, taken with my Minolta X700 and geotagged. As you can imagine, this motorcycle is not really the best for mountain roads. The Kawasaki had 1470 ccm (which was the largest engine I ever had), 64 PS, about 320 kg weight, build year 1996.

Starting in Graz I forgot to put a film in the camera, so this bridge was the point of enlightenment ;-)) Some passes already crossed at this point with the empty camera:

1. Soboth, 1070 m, Austria - day 1
2. Wurzenpass, 1073 m, Austria-Sloveina - day 1
3. Vršič-Pass, 1611 m, Slovenia - day 1
4. Predilpass, 1156 m, Slovenia-Italy - day 2
5. Neveasattel, 1195 m, Italy - day 2
