Lake Maggiore

Another from Italy, this one taken in the town of Arona on Lake Maggiore. When I first arrived I was treated to a partially fog-covered lake, but the fog quickly began clearing and exposing this ancient castle, which I believe is Fortress Angera Castle. I was also joined by a local fisherman, in a small colorful motorboat. The result is the image below.

Although there was not a lot of color at this time of year, since Spring was really just beginning in this region close to the Alps, the cool mornings frequently produce a lot of interesting and dramatic fog. And there were still not many tourists and other visitors to these small towns, so the pace was really easy.
