Default Tiny harbour on Lake Como (including sunflare)

There are dozens of these small harbours and inlets around the northern lakes of Italy. This is one where I stayed in a hotel after getting soaked on my bike (didn't fancy putting the tent up in pouring rain). The next day (in fact 2 weeks) was glorious. Just sit in the harbour with your morning coffee and enjoy. PAUL

I love this one Paul, let's go back out and enjoy a coffee together and sit and take in this lovely view. I love the sunflare. Good job Paul.

Dave.

A wonderful location, beautifully captured, I like the colours and the layout and the hint of the sun flaring on the lens that adds to that do little and do it slowly, warm and relaxing summer atmosphere, good job Paul

Just coffee? No. I wouldn't sit there and look at that if all there was, was coffee. A small pastry perhaps. Yes that would do. I could sit there all morning with a coffee and a croissant.

Gorgeous shot. Keep the bike upright.

Default Wonderful Color

Paul,

Wonderful color, and great composition. Great location to get wet on the bike.
Thanks for sharing.

Lovely Paul, what a fabulous scene. The sunflare adds effect too. I have a photo of a cat looking out a window & there is a lot of sunflare but I think it adds so much effect in many photos.

I also like mygs29's addition to the thread - small world!

Cheers Dave. I have a feeling that cup of coffee together is not too far away my friend. PAUL

Thanks Jim. The extra's sound good to me, and believe me, I do my best to stay shiny side up. PAUL

Thank you David. Yes, it's a little more pleasant than on a cold UK day, that's for sure. God bless. PAUL
