Isola Comacino, about ¾ of the way up the Como Branch to Bellagio, a little south of Lenno; there is a famous restaurant there

Great set!

Super set. The waterfall is incredible. Loved the image of someone taking a cellphone photo of it.

NMGal Loc: NE NM

Beautiful.

Excellent set Dennis. No matter how many times you see and cruise on Como, it's never enough and still breathtaking!

Bubalola Loc: Big Apple, NY

Thank you Laura, I'm glad you enjoyed the set. I loved that photo-op also and was glad I captured it.

Thank you NMGal.

Thank you Mark. Lake Como is one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited. The other 4 major lakes in the area (Orta, Maggiore, Iseo and Garda) are also beautiful, and we visited them last year, with photos to follow after I finish posting all from this trip. We are anxious to get back to Como.

Thank you Eugene, I appreciate your comment.

Oh my goodness Dennis!!! These are gorgeous photos. I love them all. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Thank you very much Jo, I really appreciate your comments on my photos of this beautiful place; I'm happy to share them.

BTW, I took all of these photos with my compact (fits in a shirt pocket) Canon G5X Mk II camera, truly a great little camera with a large (for its size) 1" 20MP sensor and an excellent f1.8-2.8 24-120 zoom lens. It won't replace my DSLR, but it sure is nice when you're out and about, which is what I bought it for.

Horseart Loc: Alabama

It got the job done very well Dennis. Hang onto it! These photos are wonderful.

Thanks Jo. I brought both cameras (my other is a Canon 90D DSLR) and used the G5X almost exclusively when we were off of the ship and the 90D most of the time when we were on the ship. On our 2018 cruise I only had my DSLR (an 80D then) and brought my "walking around lens" (18-135) as well as my wide angle and telephoto. I only used the telephoto the second day and the wide angle a couple of times, so I now only bring that camera with the 18-135 and a bag just big enough to hold the camera, an SD case and a couple of spare batteries. If I need more than 135mm of reach, I have a 32.5MP sensor and can "digitally zoom" in post. I have to remind myself that it's a vacation and I'm taking photos that are for my memories.
