For the ones who are wondering: this place is real... well, almost real. We were visiting Garda Lake (the biggest Italian lake) and we reached Malcesine, one of the towns along the lake. We hoped to visit the castle (there's a stunning view over the whole lake) but it was very cold and we had only 20 minutes before closing - the visit takes 1 hour.
So we searched for a way to reach the lake shore there. And after descending steep stony steps I found this sort of cave with a stunning view. The left side of the cave doesn't exist - I added it to make the image more appealing.
And of course this is not a night shot, the sky is created from scratch. We were there at sunset :)

Congrats Alex! Amazing place! ... and I'm sure you will photograph each of these places and enter them.... as you should, before we get to choose which ones we'd like to visit.... Sign me up for this one.... Well Done! :)
Great stuff Alex, you get around, Lake Garda is just an amazing place, and I'm only just getting over my post trip blues and I see this, and pine to be back there!
Haven't had time to look at the challenges recently, but wow, Alessandro, you've been lighting up the front page lately. This is really magical. Congrats on the blue.
