Twin sisters

Continuing the 'double' theme from yesterday's post. This pair of sisters were photographed in Merano (Italy, formerly Austria) in royal icing dresses. Sometimes I find twins where I didn't expect them, such as this group of old ladies in Westgate-on-Sea, Kent. It's maybe my own family history which makes me search for twin sisters. The defiant stare of these two leap out of our archive. I'm told they were a fabulous pair of old ladies too.

Italian lake?

I found the first one (see enlarged details below) in a flea market bin and thought the landscape and foliage might mark it out as one of the Italian lakes. Later I found this second one in the same bin. The tricolour flag could be either French or Italian, of course. Are they connected? I could be completely wrong, of course. I'm open to suggestions!
