Colonisation Photo

Photographer’s Note

Just a sunset on the Lago Maggiore, along the beach of the tiny village of Brezzo di Bedero, on the Lombardian shore, looking South-West.
Both the shores, the Lombardian and the Piedmont one are full of villas built in the past 3 centuries by people of the mid and top level class of Milano and Torino.
From the 60's a third part of villas and houses are property of people from Germany, Swiss and Netherlands, and also a large part of the tourists in the summer months come from that three countries.
The same thing happened also on the other big lakes of Lombardy, with some difference.
The Lake of Como have also a great number of Englishmen and North Americans that are owners of wonderful villas; the Lago di Garda, is a German colony all around the year.
Thousands and thousands of people from German, UK, Netherlands live there all the year.

Bene la composizione, anche se forse l'hai scattata troppo tardi, le nuvole più basse sono già buie. Molto sottoesposta la spiaggia: Se non era importante, tanto valeva escluderla dall'inquadratura. Sul cielo noto un po' di rumore e nella parte chiara anche della posterizzazione. Immagine poco nitida, ma del resto, uno sharpening peggiorerebbe il rumore. Infine, non capisco perché tu abbia postato a 700 pixel: con in più il bordino, restano ben pochi pixel da vedere.

Hi Paolo!

Maybe Invasion is a better title, cause those striped clouds look like invasion from the space. Your skies are really your specialty, i always admire them. Beautiful landscape.

Ciao Paolo,
Very nice use of the light and superb colors. The way the clouds enter the frame from uppper left, and the way it balances the whole composition is very nice. Best regards. Salvator.

They are all very beatiful these lakes up there in the north of your country Paolo. A moody capture in the late of the day this typical setting of the lakelandscape along lake Maggiore. The clouds and condens stripes adds to a fine result.

Hi Paolo !

Beautifull picture :-) you nicely captured the combinations of the colors, landscape is divided in cold and varm colors and the sky is very dramatic.

Ciao Paolo,
colori vividi e reali per questa foto che ha una bella profondità e fa apprezzare i particolari sin nello sfondo dove c'è un contrasto di nubi mozzafiato. Davvero bella.
Saluti.
