Stick and mountains, Lago di Garda

November 10, 2021 in photographs

Lago di Garda, Italy, November 2019.

I discovered this place by accident. I was supposed to spend a week in a small town in Austria, but some early snow made me change my plans. I thought it'd be better if I headed south to Italy a few days earlier than anticipated, to avoid driving on rough roads with my car and its summer tires. I had to find a place, though, and that's when I saw this lake just at the other side of the border.

I didn't really know much about it, but that was about to change... quickly. The lake was hidden most of the time while I was approaching it, but all of a sudden, it revealed itself. What a beautiful sight that was! I couldn't believe I had stumbled upon a place like that. How could have I missed this?

I took advantage of that week at the shore of Lago di Garda, and made plenty of images that are still today some of my favorites ever.

I've never been so happy about a sudden change of plans like this time.
