I looked out over the rooftops to another bright and sunny day in Riomaggiore. It was, however, somewhat windier than the previous few days and down at the harbour the boat booking office was closed with a notice saying that shipping was suspended due to the weather, so it was as well I had done […]
After a couple of days exploring the Cinque Terre by train it was time to go a little further afield and with fine sunny weather and calm seas a trip to Porto Venere by boat seemed to be in order. So, I headed down to the harbour in Riomaggiore and booked my ticket for the […]
I had a two day Cinque Terre pass so after my hike from Vernazza to Monterosso the previous day I was keen to explore the only other section of the coastal path that was open from Corniglia to Vernazza. I arrived at Corniglia railway station, which is some way below the village itself being perched […]
After the short train ride (mainly through tunnels) from Riomaggiore, I wandered down Vernazza’s busy main street to the harbour and the pretty Santa Margherita Church before exploring the colourful alleyways leading up from the harbour towards the castle. By this time of day it was starting to get rather warm, so the shade of the narrow […]
The train from Turin arrived at La Spezia more or less on time but with the end of day crowds at the station I didn’t quite have enough time to catch the connection back one stop to Riomaggiore but this gave me time to visit the Cinque Terre office and pick up a map and […]
Night had already fallen the previous evening by the time I’d arrived on the TGV from Paris and checked in to my hotel, so there was no chance of a dusk photo shoot, but after a bite to eat I wandered round the clean and spacious floodlit squares in the centre of Turin to get […]
A cheap flight to Pisa would probably have been the quickest way to start off my recent trip to the Cinque Terre on Italy’s lovely Ligurian coast, but as it was a birthday trip I wanted to do something a bit special and opted for travelling overland by train, which has always been my favourite […]
The 2013 feva (Festival of Entertainment and Visual Arts) opens today here in Knaresborough, including my Poetry in Sandstone exhibition of landscape photography at The Mitre. My exhibition (one of many on this years feva Arts Trail) explores beautiful sandstone formations, mainly from the Arizona and Utah wilderness in the western USA but includes images […]
I’ll be exhibiting some of my landscape photography again on the feva arts trail here in Knaresborough this year with the theme ‘Poetry in Sandstone’. ‘Poetry in Sandstone’ is an exploration of beautiful sandstone formations from the red rock of Arizona and Utah in the western USA to the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast in […]
I’ve just had another look at this image from from a few years back and was quite pleased with the result and decided to add it to my collection on Fine Art America, so I just thought I’d share the story behind it on here… I’d been looking to get a nice lone tree with […]
