f/1.8, ISO 50, hand held.

Si vede la vecchia strada della valle e il gigantesco pancione della diga ad arco, una delle prime realizzate al mondo. All'inizio del cantiere, il progettista Ing. Giovanni Lombardi aveva solo 34 anni.

Thanks Daniel 8-)
I'm glad you liked the photo.
It was a very unusual situation: up to that level the lake had never been emptied by the construction of the dam, almost 60 years ago.
I then asked myself: who knows what it would be like if Lake Maggiore were emptied? Of course you can't, but it would still be interesting to see once.
Have a nice day,
Roberto

Thanks Fabio.
Now I believe the lake is full again.
On the other side they do bungee jumping (not me though... :-D ).
They shot a scene for a 007 movie: GoldenEye.

The dam was supposed to be in Russia.
Good evening, Roberto
