A captivating winter landscape featuring the partially submerged bell tower of the old church in Curon Venosta (Graun im Vinschgau), standing in the frozen Resia Lake (Lago di Resia), South Tyrol, northern Italy. A rustic wooden fence runs alongside a snowy footpath, leading the viewer's eye toward the 14th-century Romanesque tower, framed by the majestic snow-covered Alps and dense pine forest. This hauntingly beautiful landmark is all that remains of the village of Alt-Graun, which was intentionally flooded in 1950 to create a hydroelectric reservoir, displacing over 160 families. The scene captures both natural alpine beauty and a poignant piece of postwar history, making it a popular destination for photographers and travelers.
