#Infrarosso. L'edificazione della chiesa della Madonnina del Lago ad Azzate è oggetto di una bella leggenda. Si racconta infatti di Niero delle Rose, un cavaliere di ritorno dalle crociate, che percorreva queste lande in una notte buia. Faceva molto freddo, tutt'intorno solo ghiaccio e desolazione, e, lontano, sulle colline, gli ululati dei lupi alla ricerca di cibo. Ma il nobile cavaliere andava per la sua strada, condotto dai sentimenti del suo cuore e dall'amore per la sua bella sposa dai capelli d'oro. Durante la lontananza il suo ricordo gli aveva alleviato la solitudine e ora non vedeva l'ora di riabbracciare la fiorentina Fazia degli Oberti, al sicuro in un castello della Valtravaglia. Nulla e nessuno poteva fermare il crociato che, con il suo fido cavallo, attraversavano di gran carriera le terre che lo dividevano dal tanto atteso abbraccio. Ad un tratto davanti a lui apparve un vastissimo campo ricoperto di neve e partì al galoppo per attraversare quella grande prateria. Alla fine intravvide alcune case e si avvicinò confidando in qualche buon'anima che offrisse una calda vivanda per rifocillarlo prima di riprendere la strada. E' un contadino di Azzate a dare aiuto al cavaliere che, ascoltato il racconto del viaggio, gli dice del terribile rischio che ha corso. Il vasto campo ricoperto di neve non è una prateria, ma il lago ghiacciato che avrebbe potuto in qualsiasi istante sgretolarsi sotto il peso del nobile e del suo cavallo. Niero delle Rose impallidisce, si rende conto di aver scampato per miracolo la morte. Grato alla sua buona stella, ma soprattutto alla Madonna che lo ha protetto, Niero lascia al contadino una borsa di denari perché venga eretta una cappella, in voto, proprio nel punto che egli aveva raggiunto incolume al termine della sua forsennata corsa. Oggi in questo luogo si trova il Santuario della Madonnina del Lago.

Hello Paul!
But you did this by putting in front of the lens the famous "X-ray glasses" that were on sale on the back of the newspapers for boys a few decades ago?!?!
then work. :-o
forgive the idiocy...
I'm not an expert like this, but I love this image, for composition, cleanliness and for the "impalpable" rendering of the leaves of the trees.

Although I am for the IR with some color I must say that I like this shot very much.
Have you mounted a high pass filter from 720?
Excellent sharpness.
We hope to succeed in summer to organize an exit.
Congratulations Paul.
