Blue November Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another one view from the small village of Castelveccana, located on the lombardian shore of the Lago Maggiore, 60 minutes north west of Milano.

The picture was took looking north, to the Swiss Alps.
The big rocky formation is called the Rocca di Caldè, (the Caldè's Rock), and the omonymous village, part of the Castelveccana Municipality, was settled around it.

The picutre was took on the beginning of November, when on the Lakes District the weather can still have something of the Summer season and not yet of the Autumn.

The Castelveccana Municipalty was created in the past XX Century by the merge of 2 main villages, Castello and Veccana, and still today there isn't a citycentre, but a large number of small tiny villages Castello, Caldè, Pessina, San Pietro, Ronchiano, Castello, Orile, Rasate, Bissaga, Veccana, Nasca, Sarigo, Saltirana, Biogno, Pianeggi, Pira, San Michele.

I think that this tone of blue could be called Blue November...

Beh, non solo blue sea....
anche il lago ha una sua magia vedo.
Grazie anche ai tuoi scatti sto rivalutando la calma e la tranquillità dei laghi.
Bella veduta Paolo, nitidezza e profondità considerevoli.
Un caro saluto
Freddy

Uau Paolo! Great blue with smooth textures. Interesting DOF wich isolates the background fron the rock on the right. The duck on the foreground adds a special touch.

Regards,

Flavia

Hello Paolo,

This is a very soft picture with great depth and splendid perspective.
Lovely with the line in background of the mountains and certainly the rock to the right.
Blue is always a very attractive colour.
Very well done.

Have a nice sunday,
John.

Ciao Paolo

I like the aerial perspective here with 3 distinct tones, dependent on distance. A wonderful overall blue colour tone with good sharpness. Tfs!

Ciao Paolo.
Nonostante manchi un primo piano a dare profondità, la foto ha una buona profondità, grazie anche al forte contrasto del piano intermedio (promontori sulla destra) rispetto allo sfondo.
Ciao, Bobo.

Ciao Paolo
Lovely soft picture with great depth and perspective. Like the triangular rock on the right which appears strong against the misty BG. The blue tone overall is very soothing. Fine shot!

Ciao Paolo,
il lago e il cielo sembrano essere un elemento unico diviso solamente dai monti sullo sfondo. La giornata ti ha davvero graziato e sembra quasi di poterne respirare il freddo profumo e l'aria dolcemente maliconica dell'inverno che avanza.
Ciao e una buona giornata,

Igor
