An Evening on the Italian Lakes 

A few years ago I was with a great little group exploring the Italian Lakes. It is always a question as to which lake they preferred, Lake Maggiore or Lake Como. The two are different and appeal to guests for different reasons; one is more open, the other has more secret places.

The photo above was taken on a beautiful mild, evening when the gentle breeze ruffles the water only slightly, and a magical band of clouds appeared from nowhere, hanging over the lake as the sun gradually disappeared from view. We all raced to get our cameras out and I am sure there would be a few photos like this one in the homes of our lovely guests. Sometimes you can just be lucky with being in the right place at the right time!
