Desenzano del Garda

Urban and landscape photography

Desenzano del Garda – photographs of the harbour and town by day and night
Desenzano del Garda has two faces in this album: a bright harbour with sailing boats and an evening town reflected in the water. I photographed the stone lighthouse, boats along the waterfront, pastel-coloured buildings, squares and outdoor restaurant seating after dark. Views of Lake Garda and distant mountains beneath expansive clouds complete the series.
During the day, I was interested in the lines of masts, the colour of the water and the buildings surrounding the harbour. In the evening, I turned my attention to streetlights, illuminated façades and their reflections between the moored boats. The night photographs also show urban details: arcades, tables, a palm tree in the square and a lit fountain.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II; EXIF data with the settings is available alongside the images. This is my account of Desenzano, combining urban photography with the lake landscape. Rather than one representative view, I show different fragments of the town and how its atmosphere changes with the light.
