Sunken Church in Lago di Resia

Everyone knows the famous Lago di Resia (Reschensee) located near the border between Italy and Suisse in the South Tyrolean Val Venosta. I wanted to go there for a long time and see the sunken villages Curon Venosta and Resia with my own eyes.

When we arrived, I was very surprised that the steeple was pretty near to the lakeshore. In all the pictures I've seen, it seemed like it were right in the middle. But as you can see, with a wide-angle lens I created the same effect.

It was freezing cold - the sea is at 1498m above sea level - but the sun was shining and the water had that beautiful green color. With an aperture of 11 I got those nice sunrays and lensflares.
