      The photo above showing snow-covered  Mount Cervino in a cobalt blue   
      sky, reflecting in beautiful Lago Blu (Blue Lake), was snapped in the   
       Pennine Alps on the border of Italy and Switzerland. Mount Cervino   
      (14,690 ft or 4,478 m), better known outside Italy as the

      m) in the  Aosta Valley of northwestern Italy. Crystal clear Lago   
      Blu is fed by  springs and surrounded by century-old  larch   
      trees. Photo taken on May 4, 2012.
