The story behind the image
Lake Como is an awesome place. It’s no surprise that some of the rich and famous flock to this place. It is stunningly beautiful, has the charms of Italy and is surrounded by the hills and mountains of the Alps. And – just in case you did not know – Como has one of the most active floatplane bases in Europe (which makes sense, as the large lake is perfectly suited for take offs and landings.)
We explored the lake by the official public transport ferry (Navigazione Laghi) and had visited Bellagio earlier that day. We took another break at Varenna and walked along the coastline which offers many stunning views just like the one shown above.
I think the two deck chairs on the patio express pure luxury, even more so with the speedboat passing in the background. The photo is pretty good (colors, composition, copyspace) and definitely triggers my desire to return to Lago di Como in the future.
