Lugano in Monochrome

on

There’s no set theme for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge, so I’ve decided to feature monochrome shots from my travels.

Lugano is a charming city set beside the shimmering Lake Lugano and surrounded by mountains, located in the Swiss region of Ticino, right near the border with Italy.

The market in Lugano is a delight for the senses.

Wandering through the old town’s narrow alleyways, you’ll find charming boutiques, hidden courtyards, and cafés spilling onto cobbled lanes.

And then, there’s the lake. Calm, blue, and endlessly inviting, Lake Lugano seems to reflect the soul of the city itself—peaceful yet full of life.

    I have always wanted to visit the Swiss and Italian lakes. Such wonderful scenery. And much as I like B&W photography I am glad that you decided to show the benches in colour.

      Well I am usually a Colour kind of girl and this one in particular is definitely better in colour. Thanks Jude.

    My memories of Lugano are in full colour, Teresa, but I didn’t get to see much more than the shoreline so thanks for the details xx
