This is Manarola, my favorite of all the Cinque Terre (5 lands) in Italy. I'm studying in Florence for four months. Missing the summer and ocean, I took a train and spent one day walking among the most beautiful landscapes with my girlfriend. Via del amore (path of love) and a beautiful sunset made this a magical place. One of my favorites on Earth.

This picture was taken from Kourio Beach in Cyprus. A storm came through few hours later.

This is probably my favorite shot, taken on a recent trip to Capitola, CA. Shot with the Rebel XTi, 100mm f/2.8 macro lens and a circular polarizer. Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy!

Manarola is a small town, a frazione of the comune of Riomaggiore, in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy. It is the second smallest of the famous Cinque Terre towns frequented by tourists and probably the most photographed. During this night there were probably 20 tripods next to mine, and everybody waited for the perfect shot...

I was trying to capture the beauty of this natural creation and was lucky to be there during such a beautiful sunset.

A shot from the beautiful island of Rakin Kotka in the eastern Gulf of Finland archipelago. I thought the clouds were beautiful.

A fire in Waimea Canyon provided a very vivid sunset. The rays are what first captured my attention, which later turned towards the pastel shades reflected on the water.

I shot this last summer in Bremanger during my trip to Norway. The location is fairly close to the beach where I shot my other photo "Light Blue Night". This is a bit further out to sea, closer to the edge of the mountain to the right.
