Photographer’s Note
Lake Albano is a small volcanic crater lake in the Alban Hills of Lazio, 15 miles southeast of Rome. On a height of 961 feet (293 m) above sea level, overlooking it is Castel Gandolfo, where the Pope has a villa.
It was known to the Roman Empire as Albanus Lacus. In its vicinity stood Alba Longa.
The lake is the deepest (170 m) in Lazio. It is about 3.5 km long by 2.3 km wide, formed by the overlapping union of two volcanic craters, an origin indicated by the ridge in its center, which rises to a depth of 70 meters.
It hosted the canoeing and rowing events of the 1960 Summer Olympic Games that were held at Rome. The lane marking system developed for these events is commonly referred to as the Albano buoy system.

Ciao Silvio,
l'aver messo l'albero in primo piano ha dato bellezza ed interesse alla composizione ed allo splendido paesaggio.
Stasera ho grosse difficoltà col sito...

Hello Silvio,
A very attractive minimalist composition featuring tree. It is well placed in the frame and looks splendid against the lovely backdrop of the lake. Good colours and sharpness.

Hello Silvio,
I like the composition, with lake in the background!
The tree is a dominating eye-catcher, fine details and creating depth in the frame...
And it is a lovely calm autumn day..!
Greetings,
