Lake Trasimeno is the largest lake in the Italian peninsula with a surface area of 128 km². It had a tectonic origin. Three million years ago, there was a shallow sea in this part of Umbria, then a depression formed by geologic fractures, allowed the birth of Lake Trasimeno.
Trasimeno is surrounded for half of its shores by hills, rich in olives that are among the most important resources of the local agriculture.
There are three islands in the lake. The second largest, Isola Maggiore, is the only inhabited one. The small fishing village, a sort of sloped table, today has only around thirty residents. Most of the buildings, including the ruins of a Franciscan monastery, date from the 1300s. The largest of these isles is Isola Polvese, a more complex structure with planes and hills. It is now uninhabited, but in the past there was a village with over 500 residents. Many centuries ago, there was a castle with a pentagonal structure near the shore, and a Olivetan monastery. The castle still remains and the ruins of the church and the monastery almost totally preserved, despite thie abandonment in the 17th century, due to bad climate and malaria. |

Hi Francesco,
Very nice composition with birds on left and light reflect on the lake, sun is perfectly located on right.
Just a little ws to reduce noise in the sky, hope you like it.
Best Regards,
Yves
