End October 2004 we made a short stay in the italian Great Lake region (Como Lake, Lake Major). 
We put our suitcases in Orta village, standing against the mount Mottarone, situated on the border of the little lake Orta and facing the tiny Isle of Silence.

During our 4 days stay we had probably the worst weather of the year ! Cold and heavy fog and showers ! 
We saw the sun just for 1 hour as the mount Mottarone and it's pass emerged over the clouds !
Despite this adverse conditions we felt in love for this beautiful and romantic piece of Italy.

A year later, as it is commonly my case, I heard a particular music and I instantly associated it to my very few shots of Orta.
I hope you will take pleasure to follow me during this short promenade, although my shots are far from the standards (bright sun) of the genre !
