Francesco Melzi d’Eril, count of Lodi and Vice president of the First Italian Republic in the time of Napoleon, decided at the beginning of the 19th century to build a summer residence at Bellagio.
The villa was built between 1808 and 1810;
The park was commissioned to Luigi Canonica and the agronomist Luigi Villoresi, who also laid out the Parco di Monza The axis of the garden extends up the slope from the lake to a high point above the villa.
It is crossed by many winding paths.
Under the trees, along the shore and at the intersections of the paths, are Egyptian sculptures and Roman statues which add to the romantic atmosphere of the garden. According to the taste of the period lots of exotic trees were planted. Fascinating is the Japanese pond with water lilies, surrounded by Japanese maple trees and cedar trees.
The person on the right ran randomly while photographing this prominent tree on the outskirts of my place of residence. So he did exactly what I was on the way, a "winter walk".
Die Person rechts lief rein zufällig während des Fotografierens dieses markanten Baumes am Ortsrand meines Wohnortes ins Bild. So machte er genau das, weshalb ich damals auch unterwegs war, nämlich einen "Winterspaziergang".

Some shots taken with this absolete lens. Taking conclusion that this lens is better for far away objects and landscape despite I can come really close to the objects. Really difficult to nail it with focusing and exposure and from 100 shots maybe one or two are really great. Above is not great regarding clarity and focus but it have that artsy look (the framing helped a bit) IMMO.
Exif show 50mm but that was my confirm (wrongly) when putting lens on camera.
I'm on holiday for a couple of weeks so I'm not so active till I'm back. Enjoy summer :D

We saw the sky begin to light up with the setting sun, so we found a location with a good view of the horizon and spent some time enoying it with our cameras.

Practicing around. Tried with a longer exposure (1 sec.). It was very shadowy in there but still in the middle of the day... Opted for this sepia variant which result was better considering the overexposure (not interesting green tones).

There is hardly a better place in my area to enjoy a perfect Autumn day than the open-air -museum in Detmold. We spent a whole day in beautiful sunshine without a cloud in this lovely location.
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.
