MONTEROSSO AL MARE, CINQUE TERRE, a photo from La Spezia, Liguria

Photographer's Note

My shot off the entrance to an apartment house in Monterosso. The bike, the planter and the inlaid colored stones on the pavement looks very pretty and inviting. Monterosso Al Mare is the fifth community of Cinque Terre if you are coming from the east. Monterosso's beach is the only extensive sand beach in Cinque Terre.

Ciao Andre, this is a really nice intimate photo, humanized by the bicycle. Fresh colours. Jalab

Bonjour André,
Le graphisme des galets, et l'harmonie des couleurs donnent un très bon rendu.

Hallo André!
A somehow beautiful still life! Only a few ingredients - but a nice impression of this village. I like this one!
Greetings from Germany - with some snowflakes! ,-)

For some reason bicycles always attract photographers, especially when they are in doorways! In this shot I like the way the lines on the ground seem to all lead right toward the front wheel of the bicycle, and also the bright red colour of the bicycle, which naturally draws our attention. Well done!

Hello Andre,
The red bike stands out well!
Did you move it to get it in this exact right position to fit the pattern in the street, hehehe...
Well framed and good details!
Greetings,
