Super shot.
Much to catch up on so will visit your other shots at another time!
Best wishes, Andy

Feel free to come back whenever you want, Andy. I still am here (on IP)...

You have an endless supply of beauty, Andrea. A gorgeous and vertiginous shot!

In fact, Diane, I have the great chance to live in a wonderful mountain area. Even when I am at home, as now for example, I am immersed in a wonderful scenery. I am writing sitting on my terrace, in a former small fisher hamlet. The lake (Maggiore) is just right there, mountains around me are lit in the sunset, voices of kids and people echoing in the narrow alleys between old houses, birds, some sailing boats, maybe an evening thunderstorm, slight warm wind and a sort of serenity. After very hard times, after having moved some years ago from my real home against my will, I now understand that it has been right so; life always gives you other chances if you learn about your past... So, I couldn't ask more, in fact. A nice place to grow-up my daughters, wild mountains, a small town where relationships are still possible, a job that I love. I sure do not have much money but who cares? Many other things are really more important...

Have nice days Diane! Andrea

A wonderful story of your life, Andrea! Thank you so much for sharing it with me. "Place" is so important to peace of mind, and you have found your place. You paint a beautiful picture of it, it is very poetic.
