Easter Lake Maggiore
This year for Easter I had planned some 'photographic output, stimulated by 5 days off I had available to lash out.
Then the weather has had a hand, giving me only a few small burst of good weather, with a prevalence of adverse conditions. Hiking abandoned my dreams, I thought to try to find something interesting in the area that I attend regularly, the Lake Maggiore from Stresa that goes up to Verbania.
And so my son and I we fell in a couple of excellent sunsets on the shores of the Gulf Borromeo, managing to capture the beautiful Borromean Islands in a light / atmosphere really nice. The first evening was dedicated to the beautiful Isola dei Pescatori.

We focused, in the next evening, on the Isola Bella recovery suggestions always at sunset.

Again we managed to catch the waves generated by a boat, getting a shot 'steam' ...

Time passed, the air was warm and silence enveloped us magically, so we waited for hours to enjoy the reflections of blue lights that burned the lake.

The following days were very bad time, then the reflex remained good in the warm good. But on Easter Monday the sun was shining, so we had a nice walk on the lake side at Verbania, for dry the moisture absorbed.

The colors and kidnap me constantly, urging them to take .

In short, it is true that we often do not realize the beauty that you have available under your nose.
A special thanks goes to my son Matthew who followed me in all these outputs, it also produces great shots of him for a 11 year old boy. I promised him that soon will have a post all for himself where he can show his work.
