Down on the lake

Yesterday I posted a view on the Lake of Garda, today I am showing you the beauty of its shore.

This is a spot on the promenade in the town of Garda (same name as the lake).  In the winter months the villages on the Lake are quiet, except on week-ends, when many people drive here from Verona and the surrounding areas. In summer it's nice to come here and have a swim, even if it can be really crowded!

Path to the river

A few years ago this bit of the Adige was much, much dryer. You could walk down this path to the stony shore. We often took our dog there where he liked to play and put his feet in the shallow water. 

The river changed over the years and now the water runs over the marble where once you could walk on, to the shore.

In the last few years some stretches of the town shoreline were improved or simply cleaned from weeds. A few steps back from here, on the right, a nice path runs along the river, all the way to the next bridge.
