Il lago Pistono è uno dei cinque laghi del comprensorio della Serra d'Ivrea ; situato nel comune di Montalto Dora , è luogo di partenza per un bellissimo trekking a piedi o in mountain bike che , passando per le famose "terre ballerine" (terreni percorribili ma curiosamente tremolanti , ultime vestigia di antichissime torbiere) porta a fare il giro dei laghi ; a seguito di recenti scoperte (reperti del Neolitico) il sito ospita un percorso archeologico , con la ricostruzione di una palafitta. Domina il lago dal monte Crovero il bellissimo castello di Montalto , risalente alla prima metà del dodicesimo secolo e restaurato nel 1890 da Alfredo d'Andrade . La fortezza aveva una notevole importanza strategica in quanto situato sulla via tra Ivrea e Aosta e religiosa , in quanto si trova sulla via Francigena . Nel 1344 passò ai Savoia e nel 1403 ai De Jordano di Bard . Numerosi signorie governarono il paese di Montalto Dora e nel 1712 Vittorio Amedeo di Savoia fece dono del castello (che aveva subìto gravi danni nel 1641 dopo un assedio) al barone Filiberto Antonio di Vallesa , una famiglia originaria della valle di Gressoney . In seguito , il castello passò al conte Severino dei Baroni di Casana che nel 1890 diede il via a importanti lavori di restauro , affidati anche al già citato d'Andrade , sino a che , nel 1957 , il castello fu acquistato dalla società immobiliare "Castello di Montalto" che ne curò i restauri e la valorizzazione . Il castello è visitabile , su appuntamento , contattando il Comune di Montalto Dora .

Of course, going from the previous black and white photo to this one with such saturated colors is almost a shock :-o moreover here sharpness and micro contrast are really low and make the image extremely soft, we are really at the antipodes.
Very good composition that give the right space to all the elements in play and the vegetation on the left that creates a sort of chronic.
Well done Leonardo, although as you know I would have preferred more natural colors, but the photos are yours, so .................. :-D

Good morning dear Riccardo, I always look forward to your passage and I thank you for your attention and timely examination; now you know me and you know my propensity for the "strong color" and therefore I will not dwell on it; rather, it is the question of sharpness and micro-contort that puzzles me because the lens (the Pentax 24-70 f/2.8) is the same that I used for the "fenestrelle forte" and more or less at the same aperture, it may be however that the post, in this case, has affected the two parameters.
Thanks again of course for the notation , which I will certainly take into account in the future in post production .
A dear greeting and a very good day to you .
Leonardo

Whether desired or not, it is undoubtedly an effect of post-production processing.

A castle to visit that you have presented between the green and the water with a vision that leaves the desire to go and visit it.
Very successful and comprehensively caption yours.
