Italy Lago di Braies, Dolomites
Lago di Braies is a beautiful spot in the north of Dolomites and near the border with Austria. The lake is beautiful with nice colours and a great landscape. A hiking track does the round of lake where you can do a lot of different photos.
Photography Tips
Prefer Autumn or spring season because in summer the place is full. It's difficult to do a nice photo without a lot of tourists and their flashy bags...
Be aware that the water level is changing constantly and not always this low as in one of the pictures.

To find this lake when you come from the South, drive until Dobbiaco and turn on the left at the first crossroad. After you find direction signs for the lake. On-site, you can find a restaurant, a hotel and parking (not free) close to the lake. On very early sunrise shoots, the parking can be free, because there are usually no parking guards on duty yet.
