this is beaufitul ticino, the southern part of switzerland. well, and some pickled italian vegs. but can you believe this is actually still switzerland? it looks so southern, italian and exotic to me. the lake (i almost called it “sea”) on the second picture was so stormy on that day, beautifully silvery. it was wonderfullyContinue reading
