EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Flooded Valley Reveals a Historical Surprise: Lake Reschen, South Tyrol, Italy (2011) 2. Description: This evocative image captures the enchanting scene of Lake Reschen in South Tyrol, Italy, where the tranquil waters of the Reschen Reservoir reflect the ethereal beauty of a flooded valley. The serene lake, created in 1952, was formed by the damming of the River Reschen, submerging the ancient village of Graun in the process. Amidst the submerged ruins, a solitary church spire emerges from the water, standing as a testament to the region's rich history. The Church of St. Martin, located in the village of Graun, dates back to the 15th century. Its striking bell tower, with its distinctive onion dome, has miraculously survived the flooding, offering a hauntingly beautiful sight that continues to draw visitors from around the world. The valley, once a thriving agricultural area, now lies beneath the crystal-clear waters of the lake. The surrounding landscape, characterized by the majestic Alps and lush greenery, adds to the breathtaking allure of this scene. The melding of history and nature creates a unique tableau that is both captivating and thought-provoking. Lake Reschen, with its flooded valley and historical surprises, is a testament to the passage of time and the enduring power of nature. This image invites us to reflect on the past while appreciating the present, offering a poignant reminder of the ever-changing world around us.
