Fotoeins Friday: Corniglia, Cinque Terre (2/5)

Part 2 of 5 in the Cinque Terre: Corniglia.

For an entire day, I traveled up and down Italy’s Ligurian Riviera on foot, and by train to explore the famous Cinque Terre region: Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore, and Monterosso al Mare. UNESCO inscribed the Cinque Terre as World Heritage Site in 1997.

Corniglia is a small quiet village perched on top of a small rocky promontory some 100 meters (330 feet) above sea level, which might look daunting at first glance after disembarking the train at the sea-level station. Any physical exertion on this hot early-summer day in the Mediterranean is worth it.

I made the photo above on 21 June 2008 with a Canon EOS450 and the following settings: 1/500-sec, f/4.5, ISO200, 28mm focal length (45mm full-frame equivalent). This post appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com as https://wp.me/p1BIdT-d9D.
