Photos from Lago di Garda and Other Places Within Reasonable Travel Limits

 A Statue man in Peschiera del Garda 
during the very busy, very touristic (and therefore rather dissapointing) Monday Market. 


One of the entrance stairways to the Arena theatre in Verona 
which is still in very good shape and still operational. 
*Phantom of the Opera soundtrack stuck in my brain for weeks*


 A very cute wine-bar we accidentally stumbled upon and had lunch at.




Welcome to "Julia's House", Verona. Covered in declarations of undying love 
and appropriately finished with the ever so famous balcony 
that was cleverly added in 1930 to attract tourists. 
Ah, the splendors of non-authentic culture. 


 Swans and Boaters in the Garda Lake, 
backed by the famous contrasting peaks of the Monte Baldo.


 Too cliche not to photograph:
A vespa parked by an archway adorned with the Italian flag.
Appropriately edited to make the flags colours stand out just that little bit extra. 




 Pigeons collecting on a lamppost on San Marco square in Venice.
I waited patiently for this one... sitting pigeons just don't have the desired effect.


The new church in Brescia.


The rediculously enormous Duomo in Milano.
Everything in Milano seems to be just that much bigger than anywhere else.
