Who dressed up the statues? They look an interesting bunch!

I have more pics of stuff on top of mountains, this time at Stresa, on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy. A big cable car carries tourists, hikers, and lycra-clad cyclists with their mountain bikes up to the peak, with a stop half way for the Botanical Garden. It was late in the year, and I thought there were no flowers in the garden at all, but then I spotted some gentians. There were lots of lizards, though. From the mountain there's a fantastic view of the lake and the Borromean islands, two of which have beautiful gardens on them.
