Ruins of the Gleno Dam
The Ruins of the Gleno Dam offer a hauntingly beautiful spot for photography enthusiasts. This historical site is the remnant of a catastrophic dam burst in 1923. The remnants of the dam stand as a sobering monument amidst the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains and valleys. As it is somewhat off the beaten track (requiring a 90min hike), it offers a quiet, contemplative atmosphere. The contrast of the man-made ruins with the organic forms of the Alpine terrain can lead to some striking compositions. Suitable for all types of photography, from landscape to architectural. Be sure to wear sturdy footwear for the uneven terrain and remember to respect the history of the site. (Vilminore di Scalve, Bergamo, Italy)
