I’m like you. I know it’s a good idea to have someone in the photograph to show the scale of a place like this, but I would have been less than thrilled if he was in my photo too. Since he appears to be holding a camera, I bet he was hoping you would get out of the way too 🙂
🙂 thank you Madhu… unfortunately this lake is very well visited and it is impossible to avoid them altogether. I hope you have accepted this challenge too 🙂
This is Braies (Lago di Braies) in Northern Italy, close to the border with Austria 🙂 I am glad you are smitten with it as I am. It happend that I saw a photo of it on Flick or some other site years ago, and I immediately decided it would be my next holiday destination and it happens that I visited it twice since then 🙂
I can live here forever . What a beautiful, calm, breathtaking place. I wish I can see more of these gifts of nature in real life. Perhaps it will give me the reflections I need to find answers. Thanks.
