Lovely place and well shot - I like the haze here - it adds to that 'morning' feeling, along with the diffuse low light.

It reminds me a little of Sausalito (across the bay from San Francisco) - of course the mountains are not snow-covered, and they would be behind the photographer if you did a strict geographic comparison, but the feel is the same.
Yes, that's Ascona down there. The slope is so steep that you can't see Locarno which is right below the houses in the foreground. If you look carefully you can also see the river Maggia which separates Ascona from Locarno (the mouth into the Lago is right below the highest top on the other side).
Ah, I love this view. In fact I went back to this place the last four springs.
Beautiful, Maurus. Very "morning". BTW, isn't that Ascona down there by the lakeshore?

Nice job on the stitching - even more impressive when "original" size is selected. Seems just a tad bit hazy, but I'm wondering if a polarizer filter would have helped. Looks like the moon is barely visible in the right half of the image.
