Lago Mergozzo
8:50 PM | 
Dana Kaplan,
Stresa Sights
A glimpse inside an open window reveals a fragment of a fresco on a ceiling...
A white chair on a balcony from which someone watches the water...
That's what we do here... Find a seat, face the water... Relax...
Even the little boats seem at rest...
And as the sun sets the water becomes as still and as smooth as glass.These are a few photos I took at Mergozzo in July, 2009. I'm particularly fond of this tiny speck of a lake. There's something about it that says slow down, sit, don't do anything, don't disturb the calmness of the water, be tranquil... And after only a few minutes there, I am...
I wrote about Lago Mergozzo in an earlier post, here.

Just looking at your gorgeous photos transports me back there…it is such an idyllic and serene spot. Lago Mergozzo exudes a sense of peace. I also love the colors of the houses that surround that lake (as shown in your earlier post). How lucky are the people who live there and wake up to this wonderful view every morning!
very true...
This is the one thing I didn't do that I really wanted to do while in Stresa. Loved the photos!
Next time girasoli... it's become one of my favorite spots for sure...
