Canon EOS 250D | 115mm | 1/500s | f/9 | ISO 100 Taken on 16/02/2021. Lake Orta is separated from the much larger Lake Maggiore by Monte Mottarone, 1492 metres above sea level. Despite its enchanting mountain scenery and leafy shores, Lake Orta was for a long time off the major tourist routes, which means that it has succeeded in keeping its original charm. As captured in this photo two months ago, the lake and mountain together form an environment that has inspired poets and painters through the centuries. The lake has a long, narrow shape and relatively shallow water. The Romans called it 'Lake Cusius', which in its Italian form of 'Cusio' is still used today to refer to the whole area, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, and in the Middle Ages it was known as the 'Lake of San Giulio'.
