At the south end of the Island Cherso (Cres),after almost 15 minutes of 'complicate' (for the many rocks) journey with the mountain-bike, i have had the surprise to see this old "Vespa", perfectly restored (except fot the saddle ;D)) parked directly over the rock's shore.
A little bit of nostalgia for the times of my secondary school....
Hope you like it!

I love it, this was my teenage dream... and exactly as you have it parked, infront of the ocean. Very nice blues and great red to give it diversity.
great foto,
Lin

Hej Giorgio,
This Vespa is placed very nicly in front of the wide sea. The colours are very good, also because of the fine light. Well done.

Hi Giorgio,
Very nice and crisp composition, full of bright, vivid colours and wonderful lighting. The red grille creates wonderful colour contrast. Very nostalgic picture!

Regards John

Well Giorgio I love this photo showing how one whoe knows the history behind these scooters. Nice photo showing blue on blue background. I agree too bad about the seat like you mentioned. Probably very cheap on fuel too!! Good photo! Cheers ~ Paul~

You did a fine job in arranging this composition. Its a bit unusual to see this kind of photo. It could be a Vespa commercial:) "Look where my Vespa can go".

Hi Giorgio,
It is interesting that while sometimes we feel nostalgic when we look at old photographs but we also feel compelled to shot something that brings nostalgia like this vespa. It is refreshing to see this machine again and you captured it well with good clarity and sharpness. The seat is a good reminder of time. Very touching!! Regards.

ciao Giorgio,
Fantastica la coloratissima Vespa, ..ma è targata Trieste! ..pensi sia stata importata da qualche "local".. oppure un'irriducibile Vespista è arrivato a Cherso a bordo del suo bolide?..
per quanto riguarda la foto, mi piace molto il contrasto del portapacchi rosso con il blu della Vespa che si fonde con quello del cielo, bella anche l'inquadratura da dietro che esalta questo contrasto..
bel lavoro, complimenti!!

grazie, Fabio.

Bellissima foto Girgio!
d'altri tempi!
i colori poi sono straordinari, fortisimi, come anche la luce!
una composizione semplice ma perfetta. tutto molto bello.
come anche Cherso. ci sono stato tantissimi anni fa, a Cherso e Lussino, girando poi per tutta la vecchia Jugoslavia.
posti stupendi!
complimenti, gran bella foto.
ciao.

Molto bella questa, oltre ai colori, la vespa in tono con il mare e il cielo, la foto ha anche qualcosa di misterioso... il proprietario dov'è? Si può far goicare la fantasia ...
Molto bella, thanks for sharing!

Hi Georgio,
I have 40 years ago the same Vespa drive around, a very pleasant for drive in summer. The blue colour of the Vespa and the sea its the same. Lovely combination and I have good think back!
Best regards,
John.

ciao Giorgio,

non vorrei sbagliarmi ma sembra una vespa 150cc del 1960....
sembra in buone condizioni e il colore blu è stupendo.
la sella sembra un po' scomoda....., ma sai, per andare in spiaggia va benissimo!!!!

ciao

wow, superb ride, Giorgio
very nice capture of the vespa
love the colors blue and red

Hi Giorgio,
I have jumped this one so nice! A beautiful Blue Vespa that I like very much with the red baggage basket near the Sea in a fine enquadrement. Excelent luminosity and colors.

Very well seen and done.
Best Regards.
Fernando

Come? Una Vespa et non siamo in Italia ;-)

Bella foto con belle colori.

Ciao

Hi Giorgio,
Yes, a great piece of nostalgia with this mountain-bike. The bike is seen with great clarity and its colour contrasts well with the reddish ground and also the red contraption. It looks lonely and out of place in this remote location, increasing the nostalgia. Well seen.

Good evening Giorgio!
Very nice capture of the legend! Beautiful composition with very good colors and sharpness. Your photo brought back special memories. I had another one, Lambretta when I was a young boy. O Giorgio, this scooter was a beauty and the girls loved it / and me too/. Thanks very much for posting
Best regards

Che bella composizione, ricca di espressività! Fantastica, a mio parere, la contrapposizione tra il blu della vespa e del mare.
Ciao.
Alberto
