On this trip to the Cinque Terre, we structured the visits to three of the five towns so that we would end up at Manarola for the iconic sunset/dusk photo time period. There were perhaps twenty or so other photographers with the same idea. This sequence of images was made over a three-hour period of time. Above image, late afternoon.
Just before sunset.
Sunset.
Lights turned on in town.
Darkness deepens.
My final effort. I stopped after this one as my shutter speed was now at five seconds and it was too difficult to get a sharp image hand-holding my point-and-shoot camera against the fence rail.
Waiting for the train back to La Spezia to begin the hour drive home.
The train arrives. I dressed up this image with some odd coloring, ground level angle, and texture - another effort at "art." We rode on four trains today within the Cinque Terre. Each one was on time, efficient, well-priced, and clean. A great way to travel and visit these jewels of the Italian Riviera.
