Italian summer

Posted by Giovanni (Milan, Italy) on 11 July 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Something different from my usual photos. It was really impossible to resist: I had to try catching some thunderbolt with my camera. Tripod, remote shutter release, B-mode and a lot of patience. You can see a part of the lake Maggiore on the right. Tomorow the same location in a different and very special moment of the day.
