Le sud du Lac de Garde, le plus grand lac italien. L’Italie, avec sa forme très distinctive de botte qu’on reconnait immédiatement depuis l’espace. C’est un pays où il fait bon vivre et que j’aime bien photographier : du pied des Alpes à la Mer il n’y a qu’un pas, les paysages changent à la fois très vite et très progressivement : montagnes, grands lacs et villes côtières pour le plaisir des yeux :)

The southern end of the Lago di Garda. I love how the water looks textured from up here. Italy is a great place to be and its distinctive shape of the boot makes it an easy country to recognise immediately when we pass over - Andreas Mogensen has a joke on why is Italy shaped like that but I’ll let him tell it. Sometimes we are lucky and our orbit travels down the full boot-shape from north to south with no clouds. This happened recently and here I present Italy in photomapping and all its splendour.
