Cassarate
I took this photo from Monte San Salvatore in Ticino, Switzerland. It was a beautiful Spring moment! This spot gives great views of the mountains surrounding Lake Lugano! Usually, it is sunny and clear from here, but on that day, my only day on Monte San Salvatore, I got an atmospheric experience! And Monte San Salvatore is above the city of Lugano, so it's quite easy to get there!
