As you can tell by the top picture, this is a place that is a little crooked. Some buildings lean a little bit this way and other a tiny bit that way. It's unusual to work with, but what it lacks in straight lines it makes up in charm. So, since nothing is really straight here anyway, I decided to let it be that way and not correct it in post-ed. This feels more true to the real thing to me :)There is only one main street in Manarola, and along it you'll find many small boutiques and shops. There are some nice places to eat too, and we were lucky to find an amazing ice cream shop a bit higher up, away from the main crowd. I'm sorry to say I don't remember its name but it was the best ice cream I had during our entire trip. I love cherry ice cream, but I often get disappointed since most of the time, it's really just vanilla with a bit of cherry jam in it. Not here though. This was the real thing! And they had really, really nice cinnamon flavored gelato too. Yum!

Epic street shot taking us right into the thick of the action, feels like we right there walking down the lane. Loads of interesting details to see also, great work.
ReplyDeleteDay 16: Excellent frame-filling architectural eye candy. Loving the rigid pastel facades speckled with the predominantly green and repeating patterns of the window shutters. Well spotted and composed.
ReplyDeleteVery southern europe coastal village style (the ones that are not spoiled by modern architecture, though I really love modern architecture as well).
