Description

I shot this vacation postcard shot in a delightful little village in the Alps above Lago Maggiore. My wife's family was from this village and we made a trip there to pay homage to her ancestry. Corippo has a full time population of about 50 residents currently. We almost froze that day waiting four hours for a bus that never came. Danke! to the young man from Zurich in the Alfa Romeo that gave us a ride down the mountain to catch our train! The slab structures were beautiful. I couldn't shoot enough of them! Enjoy!

Very nice photo - was the sky really so white, or you edited it?

The sky was actually white. It was cloudy but bright. cynlee above mentioned the b/w... it does have the appearance of a b/w photo with a little color painting here and there, but in reality it was just a very gray place on a very cold, cloudy day. The only editing on this photo was framing and the text.
