Lugano

Quite often I had chance to visit Lugano and its mountain, in the south of Switzerland, in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino, which borders Italy.
Lugano is surrounded by Alps, the homonym lake is 48.7 sq. Km, the town itself is just a bunch of Banks but as soon as you get out from city nice alpine landscapes and images are all over.

I was in Lugano in January testing my Canon 450D and paying visit to my friends that live there.
Each time that talk with them about politic I’m amazed discovering how it works democracy in Swiss, and wondering if there will be anything like that in Italy.
Anyway the days were good enough for some trips around and I had possibility to test both wide-angle and zoom lenses.
I’m really happy with the ice on windows pictures.
