Photographer’s Note
The Cinque Terre (pronounced CHEEN-kweh TEHR-reh) are five coastal villages in the province of La Spezia in the Liguria region of Italy. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all encapsulated in the Cinque Terra national park. The Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The five villages are, from west to east (i.e., from Genoa towards La Spezia):
Monterosso al Mare
Vernazza
Corniglia
Manarola
Riomaggiore

Beautiful shot, Don. You captured the beauty of the place. I'd really hope nobody will ever call this place "CHEEN-kweh TEHR-reh" ;-) I'm kidding. Anyway I think is worth to say that Cinque Terre means something like "Five lands" (I'm not so good in English...) Ciao, Marco.
