Greeting.
Beautiful cliffs and architecture on the coast, well shown with beautiful colors, contrast, perspective and captured moment with waves in the sea.
Nice place and moment with clouds coming and bringing rain.
I wish you a nice day, all the best.
Paja.

Bonjour, cher Ike,
Emprunter le chemin de fer pour découvrir la côte doit être un bon moyen de découvrir l'Italie.
Ici, les falaises aux formes acérées, bordant l'océan, sont d'une beauté manifeste
Jolie contribution.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Ike,
A very nice view down the rocky coastline on a pretty stormy day. The curved railway is well included on the right hand side, leading the eye also nicely towards the coloured houses in the middle.

hello Ike, Interesting composition from the Cinque Terre. nice view ofthe high cliffs. No luck with the weather and the sea also angry.

Best regards Malgo

Hello Ike,
The rough sea and the dark sky underscore the dramatic view of the railway and the village clinging to the rocks high above the sea. The view of the village on the dark rock is really like from a medieval fairytale. It's a magnificent and well taken photo.
Best regards,
Gert

Ike, a small railway line is passing very close to the sea. The colorful houses are perched on the rocky cliffs. The sea was rough that day. A splendid landscape. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hi Ike,

You have captured well the power of the waves. The vertical format is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the houses and of the mountains. It is a beautiful area of Italy, I do not know when I will be able to go back to Italy for a vacation. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,

good image of this Italian place, I like the point of view and the different elements we can see here, the town in the back hiding between the rocks is beautiful, well seen,

Have a good weekend,

Sergio

Hello Ike,

You have captured a scene which seems as if you were in a precarious location, capturing the steep side of the seawall and the anger of the sea, striking the rocks beneath.
But, it's a very well composed, vertical shot, the lines leading us to the mid-ground, where the colourful houses are peeping mischievously from behind the rocks and beyond, the misty mountains create a vest depth.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

PaulVDV (63580) 2020-08-14 11:03

Hello Ike,
We can only wonder where you took this picture from.
You certainly weren't on a train.
I get the impression that we are entering Manarolo through the back door.
In any case, a very spectacular view of the wonderful coastline.
The white foam on the foreground shows us how hard the waves crash on the rocks.
Best regards, Enjoy your weekend, Paul

Hi Ike.
What a spectacular coastline, with those cliffs, beautiful towns in incredible places and its joyous colors, as we can see from the one that appears behind the rocks.
A great photo, with beautiful natural colors, very good lighting and excellent sharpness.
Well done. I love it.
Have a good week.
Very best regards.
Luis.

alvaraalto (42912) 2020-08-18 4:56

Hello Ike,
A beautiful photo that shows us a fascinating combination of nature, buildings and infrastructure.
The relatively rough sea and the grey sky give the picture something dramatic.
Excellent work
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Hi Ike,
What a great viewpoint you have! That railway station is truly unique, curving on the edge of the sea and rails disappearing into tunnels on both ends of the station. And the town built on steep cliffs in the background.
Kari

jean113 (28351) 2020-08-18 11:34

Hello Ike, a very good point of view and a neat composition as we follow the curving lines of the railway towards the tunnel.
The colourful houses in the distance are a second focal point as they seem to be clutching onto the rocky headland.
The sea is also very dramatic!
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Ike,
You are a photograph with the ability to capture either a place , an experience an idea, or a moment. For this reasonyour picture is worth a thousand words.
Your photographs can convey a feeling faster than, and sometimes even more effectively than words can. you can make the viewer see the world the way the photographer sees it.

Hi Ike,
those colorful villages from that region are always captured in a full sun so it was a surprise to me to see that occasionally there is also a bad weather there. Very original point of view as well which is a great reportage of your trip showing the means of transport there.
The cloudy sky adds a feeling as if it was England :)
Very well done,
M

Hello Ike,
They have built their railroads at difficult places! The sea is trying to reclaim the rails!
