A different aspect of Cinque Terre, undoubtedly why many people go, is for the views of the villages and the coastline. There are many trails that you can hike on and some of the following were captured during the hikes.





The above was a storm that built up within a few minutes and unleashed a torrent of rain on three of the villages. I happened to be coming back down from one of the mountains when it broke. I pretty much went to the edge of a cliff as quickly as I could and captured the storm, coming down the mountains and rolling out to sea. This is one of about 15 frames captured.





The web reduced size (dimensions and compression) doesn't do any of these justice unfortunately. There's a lot of detail in each of the photo that can be observed in a much larger format print.

I suspect they would benefit from a black background. Seeing the page colour is fixed, maybe even a black border might help.

#2 looks like a dramatic weather pattern.

Alas, I can't see the said detail (and therefore merit) of these images on this monitor. I will try with my desktop monitor for comparison.

They appear a bit too dark for my
liking. Perhaps colour would have
been a better option?
