Photographer’s Note

A sunset view, with a strong summer and sea mood, but took 2 days ago in winter and in the middle of the Alps.

That's the miracle of the Lake District north of Milan, a special microclimate where the climate differs from the surrounding area, totally different.
Snow is really rare also on the top of the mounts on the lake (also higher than 2000 meters), palm trees are really common in all that area and good weather is common all the year.

The view is took from the Pier 1 of Bellagio, looking south,
on the right side there is a small part of the 1.700 meters Mount Tremezzo and in the middle there is the Cape of the Isola Comacina (the little omonymous island is on the back of the cape); and on the left side there is a small part of the Mount San Primo (1.686 meters).

Bonjour Paolo
Très joli cliché de ce soleil qui enflamme la mer. J'aime bien l'arrière-plan un peu nébuleux.
Bon travail - merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hello Paolo,
A beautiful peaceful sunset with lovely tones and reflections. The birds, particularly the one in the foreground, do wonders for the ambiance.

The birds make it here IMO, Paolo. For they give the mood and the message. The sunset on the lake in the mountains is, of course, gorgeous. Regards, Daniel

Hi Paolo,

I like very much this sunset because it has another kind of light here. Beautiful birds in good contrast with the soft mist in background.

Ciao
Leonor

Uno scatto romantico: bellissimi riflessi sulla superficie del lago. I gabbiani in volo aggiungono un tocco speciale ad una composizione attraente e ben realizzata.
Bravo.
