Nice view expertly captured. Thx for sharing.
Thanks! I really had to hang the camera over to capture the beauty. It was worth it and I’m lucky it came out so well. 🙂
Appreciate your extra effort! Have a fabulous weekend … by the sea.
It was beautiful and unfortunately over. I’m back home now.
Beautiful!
Thanks! 🙂
What a gorgeous photo. Now if I could only teletransport myself there for the weekend from Tasmania here!
Well now if I could transport myself to Tasmania! It must be beautiful there.
That picture is absolutely beautiful!
Thanks Kim! It’s from my travels in Italy this summer. 🙂
Love it! I went there many years ago to write, the main character in my novel comes from one of these fishing villages, so I decided I had to hang out for a couple of weeks, did you stay in one of the villages?
We stayed in a small beach town called Diano Marina, which is about a 2,5 hour drive from La Cinque Terre. We would have liked to visit it more but there was nowhere to leave our car and parking just wasn’t happening so I took this shot from the road to the village. I hung my arm off the cliff and snapped at least 4 times hoping that one would be nice. It is a very beautiful village though. 🙂
There are 5 villages and they are all gorgeous, I came by train, as it’s true, there are no roads in the villages (unless you drive a three wheeled mini truck) 🙂 The only parking spaces in the village I stayed in, Manarola, were for the fishing boats at night, that they hauled up the rocks from the sea on a hydraulic winch, captivating to watch. Time to dust off that novel perhaps. 🙂
Yeah, we got tired of waiting for the barrier to go up to park in the only parking spaces after 25 minutes. 🙁
Didi, we seems to choose the same holiday places as we do places to live! We were staying about 40 minutes from Cinque Terre. The first time we came we rented an apartment in the highest of the 5 villages and did everything by train. This time we hired a tiny motorboat and did it all by sea. Heavenly! I recommend it!
I will have to go back differently in hopes to witness the beauty of Cinque Terre up close and personal. 🙂
