Awaiting Sunset
Hello out there,
After spending a couple of days in the northern Italian City of Milan, we decided to drive out of it to Lake Como before heading back to Germany. Lake Como, as well as the nearby lakes Maggiore and Garda, for me, represent a lifestyle, which is unparalleled. Due to their perfect location right along the Alps, the climate is superb and the neat little villages and towns around it, offer the advantages of excellent Mediterranean food and culture. And by looking into the eyes of the local people, you can see, that they enjoy life and feel well. Just to walk along the lake for one afternoon, let me feel as much reenergized as a whole week of vacation.
However, on this walk did the sun start to set and wonderfully illuminated the lake as well as the surrounding mountains. Of course, did I start to capture it with my camera, to preserve this unique feeling. As we then came by a landing stage with some boats fastened to its side, I recognized a clearly visible light beam, delightfully falling through some clouds on the opposite mountain range.
Instantly I lifted my camera up, to capture it before the clouds would move and therefore the light beam disappear. I decided to include the landing stage in the center of the photo, just how I initially saw the scene, then I pressed the shutter.
