Porto Torre, Varese. Italy.
The Ticino River borns in Val Bedretto, near Nufenenpass, 2,480m above the sea, in Switzerland. It is fed by the glaciers of the Alps and it is the main feeder of Lake Maggiore, in Italy. Its run is divided in three segments: the mountain segment, in Switzerland, the lake segment, in Lake Maggiore, and the plane segment, from Lake Maggiore to the Po River. Ticino flows out of Lake Maggiore near the City of Sesto Calende, and then it flows in the great plane toward the city of Pavia, where it joins the Po River (the largest river in Italy). Ticino is about 248 kilometres (154 mi) long. The highest point of the drainage basin is the summit of Grenzgipfel (a subpeak of Monte Rosa), at 4,618 metres (15,151 ft). From Monte Rosa, the water flows into the Anza River, and then into Toce River to feed again Lake Maggiore.
There is a series of dams in Switzerland, in order to create hydroelectricity, while in Italy a series of small dams are used to control the level of water in the lake for agricultural purposes.
This shot has been taken some kilometers downstream of Lake Maggiore, near the small dam of Porto Torre.

La parete est del Monte Rosa col ghiacciaio del Belvedere
E' la parete più alta delle Alpi e per geomorfologia l'unica di tipo himalayano

It's the highest wall in the Alps and by geomorphology the only Himalayan type

Pour ma part ma région est "Rouge", donc toujours pas de possibilité d'aller dans les parcs voir comment la nature a repris le dessus...
