Also known as the Prager Wildsee, Lago di Braies is a gorgeous mountain lake in the autonomous region of Trentino Alto Adige/Südtirol. This area has become a popular tourist destination in recent years thanks to the television series “Un Passo dal Cielo” starring Terence Hill.

The photo of Lago di Braies comes courtesy of Luca Bravo, who captured the landscape and beauty of the Italian Dolomites perfectly—the fog draped over the mountain crags, the deep Veronese green of the lake, and the serenity that the moored boats and steepled church convey.

As the season shifts from summer to fall—and as the news and weather reports grow more hectic by the day—this photo of Lago di Braies offers a moment of calm. Serenity now!
