Another view of Vernazza as one ascends the trail from the south. The village in the distance is Monterosso al Mare. |

Vernazza one last time, shot during a rain storm at twilight. |

It doesn't matter where you are, in this case it was Monterosso al Mare, when you find this combination of color you just have to take your time and create something a little special. |

Rain is relatively rare in Cinque Terre, but when it does, it really does rain! That in itself brings about more photo opportunities such as the one above using deliberate blur. If there is no color, there is no image to speak of. |
After the storm all is peaceful, and leaves such as this one beg to be noticed. Accordingly, if one sees the image and gets the technicalities lined up correctly, then you have yourself a memorable image. |

More color in Vernazza, this time from street level. |

Life goes on in Cinque Terre, and with limited living space, one has to improvise when it comes to drying one's washing.

A shot that's typical of Europe and Italy in particular. This was shot in Monterosso al Mare, the northernmost of the 'five lands'.

Looking north late in the day above. Then at right a longer lens pulls in the detail amid the rocks, and then a fast shutter speed did the rest.
Below, another long lens shot in which I placed a third of the image in shade to add 'depth'.
