Ferry at Bellagio, Lake Como, Italy

As Lake Como is wide and long, the best way to get somewhere is by ferry. A bridge would spoil it. This picture is of a ferry leaving from the pier at Bellagio. The city (town) sits on the tip of a peninsula that divides Como into east and west. If you look at the photo carefully or enlarge it, you will see a small town straight over the lake to the right side of the picture and another village high up on the mountain to the left. Many wealthy and famous people have homes on Como as do many not so famous people. It is, however, the high rent district.
