bella italia - part 1

hotel pier - beautiful morning view from in front of the room :)

seems like italy is gonna be my favourite place for the next weeks... after a really successful shoot in val senales last weekend, i went down to lago di garda this weekend to start the windsurf season. the lake is still bitter cold (around 10°C), but the wind was excellent! what a nice start!

beautiful riva del garda...

i really love the way of life in the northern part of lago di garda... steep rock faces, falling almost vertical into the lake, nice architecture and - of course - great food!
so we were strolling through limone, riva del garda and torbole, went shopping alot and had a really relaxed weekend in our favourite hotel down there.


windsurfing was great, best 4 days in a row since quite a while! its always inspiring to watch all the italian riders throwing their moves right in front of the hotel like 20 year old Mattia Fabrizi in the short clip below... 





now its time again for another shoot in val senales before i go back down to the lake!
