We move to Cinque Terre Italy



What a fascinating group of villages in Northern ItalyCinque Terre is known world wide for its wonderful vistas as well as its amazing hiking.  As a photographer I can assure you that you will get some of the best pictures that you can imagine.  The idea is to start at Riomaggiore and hike to each of the cities on the way.  The next is Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and finally Monterrosso.  Each of these tiny village offers the same luxuries as a major city with some wonderful restaurants, shops and the amazing locals of course.  It is impossible to compare the differences because each one is so unique.  Monterrosso offers two beaches with a great backdrop and Corniglia is way up on the cliff of Cinque Terre.  In my opinion Riomaggiore and Vernazza offers the best views and of course the best photos.  So many colours it's hard to keep track of which village your in and what landscape you're looking at.

In Toronto I have visited quite a few unique shows showcasing artists and everything you can imagine under one roof.  I remember years ago being fascinated by a specific acrylic picture and I recall it being Riomaggiore from above.  This picture could only be taken by a hiker and someone is not afraid of heights!  Please enjoy the selection of my pictures of Cinque Terre and fall in love with Italy again.
