BASILICA OF ST JAMES

ISOLA DI SAN GIULIO

ITALY

Basilica on the island on the lake Orta.

"Every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no alteration or shadow caused by change.”

- Letter of St James 1,17

Such a beautiful morning! There were no boats operating that early, though, so I had to put up with a walk on the other side of the lake. I climbed up the holy mountain of Orta and enjoyed the uncomparable silence of the early morning hours in the parks among the chapels with beautiful views across the lake.
