I have always considered Italy my destination of choice. There is something about it aside from the fact that my maternal grandparents were born there.
I was especially excited about my trip last September in that I was going to visit the Amalfi Coast. The last time we were there, we opted to spend the day on the Isle of Capri. This time, we had just one day and had to choose whether to travel along the coast via a small tour bus or take a boat that would cruise down the coast to Amalfi. We decided on the latter and took a bus out of Naples toward Salerno to meet up with our boat.
I had always wanted to visit Salerno as it is my mother’s family name and I am sure some of my ancestors originated from there. As we approached the city, the rooftops became visible. While it wasn’t the golden hour, the light was still pretty good as I pressed my camera against the bus window. Luckily, I was able to capture the scene without any reflections from the windows or buses passing by in the opposite direction.
Gorgeous capture - so much character in those buildings! The Amalfi Coast is one of my favorite places on the planet!
Beautiful shot, Len. Italy is very high on my list of places I need to visit.
Great rooftop shot Len. So many lines and shapes. I agree with you about Italy being a ‘special’ place too. My grandparents were from Naples and the Veneto region and I have visited there many times.
A beautiful view here Len, just love the composition! Those clouds look painted!
Nice write-up, Len. A little family history is always interesting.
Love this shot, man. It’s really nice and colorful. Great composition too.
Beautiful Len. As you know I’m currently having a love affair with Italy having just been there. This image really captures the beauty of the cityscape. Unfortunately I missed Salerno this time around. I guess I’m just going to have to go back.
I love the light in this. So even. Nice work.
Such history in these rooftops. I love it.
Very nice. Looks like a terrific scene.
nice scene Len and love those clouds! well shot!
wow. looks like a painting. love the artistic feel.
Gorgeous shot Len! Such a variation in the roof styles, beautiful!
I love that color of the domed roofs in contrast to the older roof tops! Wonderful!
Such beautiful clutter, with hints of the sea behind.
Beautiful shot Len! I probably will never get to go, but if I were able to choose one place to visit I believe that Italy would be it.
Ahhh, Salerno. I need to take my GF there before it gets too cold! Great shot. Such amazing photo opportunities there.
