Gay Cruising In Twin Cities

October: Lake Tovel

Along the immense destruction that comes down from the Valley Tovel seem to hear even the last Tresenga desperate cry of the Queen.
It is said that the Queen of Ragoli having sworn allegiance to their people badly rejected offers of marriage to King Lavinto Tuenno, some are infatuated, like many others, the legendary beauty queen, but even more taken by the desire to possess the rich lands of the his kingdom. Re Lavinto
Fu, delivered from the wrath of the moves made war.
Tresenga just knew he wasted no time, declared the situation to the people who followed her passion with daring in battle. They crossed the mountains of the Brenta and fell into a valley known over the site of an emerald lake, including the armies of King Lavinto surprised. Sounded the clash of arms, the rush of Tresenga crashed as storm spent the night and nearly stopped the fight, claiming that the soldiers continued on both sides. However
Lavinto was a mighty warrior and his armies accustomed to the battle and many more. It was thus that the momentum of the Queen Tresenga shattered and finally fell with the last of his loyal subjects.
Since then, he said that the waters of Lake Tovel turn red as blood, every summer, in memory of this sacrifice.
And the last cry of the warrior queen still flows through the ruins of the valley, as it represents the remains of his army with her, fell in that river which is called just Tresenga Torrente.

It seems there is no historical basis to this legend, however, questo non toglie nulla la fascino di questi luoghi e della loro, più o meno sognata, storia.

Ora il lago non si arrossa più, dall'estate del 1964. Le ipotesi sono diverse, chi accusa lo squilibrio apportato dal turismo di massa che ha comportato un grande afflusso di visitatori, peraltro meritato vista la bellezza del luogo, chi invece ipotizza un cambiamento avvenuto in seguito alla grande riduzione attività dei pascoli nelle alte valli soprastanti che avrebbe comportato un diverso apporto chimico delle acque immissarie ; in questo caso la causa della scomparsa del fenomeno sarebbe.. un minore inquinamento.)
Un fenomeno dovuto ad un' alga chiamata  Glenodinium sanguineum Marchesoni.


But ..


in the fall ...

a little 'red ..

and other wonderful warm tones ...

you can still see ...

paint the emerald lake ..


E. ... diving .. forgetting everything ... even and especially because ... waiting, stopping ..
mists feel the sounds and colors of the legend ..

Fallen leaves ..
like old soldiers ..
lie.
shields and swords scattered motionless in the fields. Useless before, and now more than ever.

Gems crowns,
shed tears ...

The last step ..

The Armed Tresenga ...

Dreams float on the hopeful results ...

The final assault ...

The route ...

The end ...

reopen the fog .. Peace and again, finally ..

Red ... Back on the river, on the leaves, the colorful clothes of those who now visit this Legendary place .. who knows ... what they see ... if they felt something.

And all the colors of the world. In a moment.
