Story:
Taking pictures at Marmore waterfall, the cold weather and waterfall mist, caused my camera to stop. The electronic shutter of my camera clogged, I did not know that this happened, so lost a few images. I heard a strange sound that the camera made but continued taking photographs. It was only until I developed the film that discovered the problem; two entire rolls did not come out. Was very disappointed as the images I visualized as winners, were vanished.
Later that evening, I was dinning at a very nice hotel at Piediluco, with a view to the lake and the small town, when I noticed people started cheering in Italian and went towards the windows of the restaurant, I had to see what was happening…, it was snowing.
Early the following morning, the entire surrounding was white, I took images from hotel room window. This image was taken at sunset the prior day using infrared film, premonitioning the look the following day.
