After driving south through Austria on their awful motorway system (basically 200 miles of rumble-strip), I cut across a bite-sized chunk of Italy on my way to Slovenia. Whilst there, I stopped off to check out Laghi di Fusine, which was beautiful, but the light was ruined by the thunderstorm that followed me the entire way, so my photos were all a bit underwhelming.

These photographs were taken with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and the extraordinary Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 II.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
