Manarola, Cinque Terre, Liguria, Italy

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.
