Lake Vannino is a lake located in the municipality of Formazza , in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola .
The lake is of natural origin and was raised by a dam built between 1917 and 1921. The dam is 120 metres long and 23 metres high. It has a maximum capacity of 9,540,000 m 3 of water. It feeds the hydroelectric power station of Ponte , also channelling the waters of Lake Sruer (or Obersee) and Lake Busin Inferiore .
The lake is located at an altitude of 2177 m, in the upper Formazza Valley , and is dominated by the Vannino Towers . The Eugenio Margaroli Refuge is located near the lake . The lake collects the waters that flow from the overlying Sruer Lake and its emissary, the Vannino torrent, flows into the Toce at Valdo .
I ran across the Chev S-10 Blazer "Xtreme Model" that was manufactured between 2001 and 2005. After walking to the other side of the street for a better view, I came across the owner. He told me he has an match tear-drop trailer he tows with it. The Spiderweb trim is material he bought from JoAnne's Fabric and if he gets tired of it he'll just peel it off.
A friend in greed — what every overfed lorikeet needs.
The photographic challenge was to get two birds' eyes in focus. Stopping the aperture down to f/6.3 helped (as did the R5m2's 30 frames/second with pre-continuous capture).

The Foric Pass and the Zube Alpine Pasture. Valsesia, Italia.
The Foric Pass, at 2,432 m , takes its name from the stream of the same name that flows towards the Pianmisura Alps (Piccola and Grande). From the Foric Pass, you can enjoy a splendid view of the Val d'Olen, the Monterosa massif, and part of the Valle d'Otro. Not far away, about 15 minutes away, is a plateau with the Zube Alp at 2,515 m. Continuing, climbing a little further, you reach the Zube Pass at 2,874 m, which allows passage towards the Gressoney Valley and offers a majestic panorama of the Aosta Valley Alps.
