Skywatch #60

Lake Maggiore, originally uploaded by duopastorale.

I'm dreaming of summer holidays. This shot was taken two summers ago on Lake Maggiore in Italy. This year will bring more Mediterranean travel, but I will have to wait until early September. Meanwhile, we have temperatures over 30 C here in London!!

I'm, too, dreaming of summer holidays, working on a sweltering day while 'normal' people spend their time on the beach, it's been so hot in Helsinki as well, not quite 30 °c, though.
Italy is gorgeous, you have skilfully captured the Italian colours and the softness of the air (& the cottonwool clouds) in this picture. Garda Lake is lovely, but Lake Maggiore does not look that bad either!

Wonderful scene. Hope you are going somewhere equally lovely for this years holiday. Will sure beat the temperatures on the underground.

What a really lovely composed shot.
The tall tower, the spot of yellow, a hint of water and crisp skies - beautiful!

You are roasting there, and we are freezing here. What goes on with our little planet?

That's a wonderful to inspire daydreams.

Italy is so beautiful. It's hard to believe that it's over 30 C in London.
