Photographer’s Note
Along the elevated waterfront of Camogli there are 2 small "square", one it's used by tourists, moms and children, the other one is "property" of this group of skaters.
I think that there are really few skateparks in the world with a so wonderful view all around!
P.S.
On the advert: Osteria delle Pance = Bellies Pub

Lords of Dogtown
It is a 2005 film directed by Catherine Hardwicke, written by Stacy Peralta. The film is based on the story of "The Z-Boys", an influential group of skateboarders who revolutionized the sport.
In the 1970s, a group of apathetic teen surfers from a rough neighborhood known as "Dogtown" in Santa Monica, California, created a cultural revolution by transforming skateboarding from a recreational activity into an extreme sport.
When a shipment of urethane wheels arrives at Santa Monica's Zephyr Surf/Skate Shop the owner, Skip Engblom, played by Heath Ledger, puts together a team of local layabout skaters to compete.
Known as the Zephyr Skateboard Team, the boys transferred their surf skills to drain pipes and empty swimming pools with stunning results. Their acrobatic maneuvers inspired generations of teens to join the skateboarding frenzy and catapulted them to fame and fortune.
The movie is based on the real rise of skateboarding started by Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva and Jay Adams. It follows their friendship, the rise and fall of the Zephyr skateboarding team and the tragic loss of one of their friends, Sid, to brain cancer. It follows their rise to fame and the struggle to stay on top as they begin to turn on each other.

Ottimo il taglio quadrato, la dinamica, il tempismo, i coori vivaci ma specialmente il fantastico contrasto tra gli skateboarders e l'insegna dell'osteria (nome e grafica classica).
veramente un gran bel lavoro Paolo, complimenti!!
ciao,
Fabio.

Hello paolo,
Very accurate decisive moment. The five skaters are just perfects! The whole thing looks like a commercial for the "Osteria delle Pauce"!
Have a great day!

Hi Paolo.
I agree. Must be skaters heaven. On the other side, maybe skaters are more fond of a real urban environment.

Hello Paolo,
Une image pleine de dynamisme et de couleurs ! J'aime bien la posture de skateboarder qui donne l'impression qu'il est entrain de décoller !
Dommage que la vue manque un peu de netteté et de contraste !
le soleil donne envie de voir arriver l'été !
Bien vu !
A+

Hi Paolo,
Indeed a skate park with a view. Nice bright colours on this one, and a good composition with the skaters in a diagonal line. The movie was pretty good too!
