My last weekend at Lago Maggiore

Last weekend, we travelled again to one of our favorite spots on this earth, the Lago Maggiore, on the border of Switzerland and Italy. We only got to stay there for three days, but in the way the Italians seem to enjoy every minute of the day, it seemed much longer.
We were just in time to visit the Carnevale di Angera, which (like in other towns around the Lago) is a week later than in the rest of Italy. The parade wasn't very large, but everybody was having good fun. And after a grey winter in my country, it's good to see some color again!
In the first two days, the weather was pretty fine, a bit of an overcast, but the sun broke through enough to make it pleasant to be outside.
And seeing that, I couldn't help myself but take two postcard shots of Angera and Arona, two towns opposite of each other at the Lake.
Arona:
Angera:
And on the last day, the weather was excellent. We went to visit the Missoni Home factory outlet in the hills at the bottom of the Lago Maggiore, and ended up with this beautiful scenery (trying to make a panorama of handheld shots isn't all that easy...):
Being back in the Netherlands and working up these images to share with you made me feel homesick for Italy again. I know I'll return soon.
