[singlepic id=1918 w=480 float=left] A different kind of picture from Italy. Taken from Murano Island off of Venice where much of the fancy hand blown glassware that the place is famous for is made. I didn’t make it out to the island when I was in Italy in 2001, so… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1916 w=480 float=left] By the time we got to Riomaggiore it was pretty much night – we went into town and got a few beers, walked back out to the point to watch the sunset and drink our beers and then hiked up the hill over the town while… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1915 w=480 float=left] Looking back north in the evening from Riomaggiore, the southernmost town in Cinque Terre. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 44mm, f/6.3, 1/100 sec, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1914 w=480 float=left] OK, last one of Vernazza… Looking back as we were hiking out of town. I’m not sure why I have a disproportionate number of pictures from Vernazza – must have been the most picturesque town of the five. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1911 w=480 float=left] Merry Christmas! A shot from on the brake wall from the previous picture. You can’t really make out a trail thanks to the vegetation, but the trail comes in from the upper left here. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 10mm, f/16, 1/400… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1910 w=480 float=left] Apparently I tagged a bunch of pictures form Cinque Terre for posting, but never post them… so we’re going to have a few more of those to round out the year. This is another of Vernazza from above as we were coming down into the town…. Continue reading
[singlepic id=1909 w=480 float=left] There’s something about brightly colored buildings on cliffs over the sea that makes them fun to look at. The second southernmost town in Cinque Terre, Manarola. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 10mm, f/16, 1/20 sec, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1109 w=480 float=left] Toward the end of the first hike, we descended into the town of Vernazza allowing the vantage point for this picture. Vernazza is the second town in Cinque Terre (when heading South). I have probably a dozen pictures from the five towns that I really like. … Continue reading
[singlepic id=1108 w=640 float=center] This is a portion of the town of Monterosso, the Northern most town in Cinque Terre, a set of five towns on the Eastern coat of Italy. The previous afternoon had been rainy and we canned our plans to hike down into one of the towns… Continue reading
