Menaggio, a photo from Como, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

A late summer shot taken from the ferryboat on Lake Como.

from previous post:
''The area of current Menaggio was conquered by the Romans in 196 BC. The Roman conquest culminated with the construction of a road called the Via Regina.

Menaggio was a walled city, and remnants of the wall are evident today.''

Construction of big hotels in this cool summer area made it a summer resort area

Bonsoir, cher ami Alessandro,
Nous sommes en pleine r嶲ion lombarde (sauf erreur).
La ville s'彋ale majestueusement face au lac de C獽e.
Les toits rouge/orange aux tuiles romanes habillent d幨icatement ces vieilles maisons, qui se pressent, autour de l'嶲lise.
Une tr鋊 belle r嶧lisation.
Amiti廥.

Alessandro,
This is a great postcard shot of this fine waterside town. The tower provides an excellent focal point for the shot. The lighting and colors are great as is the photo's sharpness. The mountains proivde a great backdrop for the scene.

Hello Alessandro,

This town has found a beautiful location by Lake Como..!
The beautiful light renders superb late summer colours, and the feeling of being on that ferry is well conveyed...
Many fine details, I notice the church in the middle of the town!

Greetings,

Ciao Alessandro,
beautiful panorama. The town looks so pretty, its setting is spectacular and your photo presents it very well.
It almost seems as if the houses were swimming on the lake, they are so nicely sandwiched between the mountains and the water. Great natural colors too.
Very well done,
M
