In the autumn of 2018 my wife Liz and I spent an amazing two weeks exploring the lakes and mountains of northern Italy.
Based at Varenna on Lake Como, we travelled far and wide in our little Fiat Panda, taking in the beautiful scenery and lakeside towns.
But we didn't have far to go to see one of the loveliest places on Lake Como, the buildings and gardens of the wonderful Villa Monastero, just on the outskirts of Varenna itself.
Liz and I spent a wonderful few hours strolling around the grounds and stately homes on the site, with a fantastic photo opportunity seemingly everyhwere you looked.
Such as this view, overlooking the monastery buildings and gardens to the lake and mountains beyond, glowing in the warm sunlight.
