Indeed, a very beautiful corner of this planet and great for hiking (just don't come by car - use the train)
Hmm, can't say that I remember that statue, it must be relatively new, as I didn't see it on my last visit in 2003

It doesn't look new, but it was in a fairly obscure location.

I hope I get to go back there again someday.

I agree Manarola was beautiful; i was there in may 2005. You have captured the character of the village so well and brought back some great memories

This is a great shot - the colours are gorgeous and the composition is great too. Italy is such a marvellous place - I haven't been to the Cinque Terre yet though - next time!

Wow... I missed you here by like two months... what a shame.

Talk about bringing back heaps of memories though... *le sigh* I absolutely love everything about Cinque Terre... it's such a unique place to be, such feelings of being so far away from... well, anything really.
You've really captured that essence of the area here, the bright coloured homes, the history with the monument there. It's all very nicely come together in this... absolutely.

I've sort of forgotten to mention... I love your avatar

Nice shot! It looks like Taormina, a town in Sicily, southern Italy.
Cool, it seems we have the same camera

aspirit In reply to krige [2006-02-20 11:12:41 +0000 UTC]

I guess there must be a lot of parts of Italy that look like that?! Beautiful country anyway
Actually I use that camera not so often - it's more my husband's. Most of my shots are film SLR.

krige In reply to aspirit [2006-02-20 13:26:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, maybe you are right.
It's anyway quite distinctive the houses in so different colors
grouped like that one above the other.

I'm going to buy an SLR soon, a digital one though...
I can't wait to have it!
