There is a rustic yet delicate old world feel to so many parts of Europe that is simply impossible to reproduce. Sure, we have all seen the sad attempts here in the states from theme parks to new housing communities, but the reality is, they are simply just attempts. I was really quite excited to see the many alleys, cobblestone sidewalks, and architectural details of this Italian village upon my arrival, and used the time during the harsh mid day sun to scout out a few locations for the “blue hour” that was about to arrive that evening. On a night like this, you can almost guarantee a late dinner…..very late actually. Lucky for me, late dinners seem to be the norm…..even in this quiet little lake town.

As an amateur I see, I have much to learn. Every so often I get a spark of inspiration like this. I’ll be going to Lake Como this summer and cannot wait to see what I can pull off.
