A Vaporetto? I enjoy this lakeside view with the Apls in the background.

Yes, "a vaporetto"! We have about six boats that continuously connect Arona with the various towns around the lake, including Ascona and Locarno in Switzerland. Thanks for visiting my blog!

Tks for dropping in on RuT. I have enjoyed yr collection....the Winter shots were particularly nice. But overall the clarity of the images and your "clever eye" are pleasing. The quality of the light and the clean air over the Alpine lake seems to be helpful ;-).

A boat-taxi? Wow! Does this sort of thing seem mundane to you? Around here, all our "taxis" are secondhand cars of varying shapes and colors with a little light on top.

Thanks a lot for your comments, Chuckeroon!

Yes,Josy, thank god they invented the water-taxis, because it saves you much more time than going by car. A lot of school children from smaller towns around the lake take the boats to come to school in Arona. Thanks for dropping by...!
