Day 4 Amalfi Coast
Day 4 Amalfi Coast – Today was a bit more relaxed than yesterday and it is my last on the Amalfi Coast. I cruised to different parts of Amalfi, including Positano again and stumbled across this magnificent viewpoint up near Agerola. I took lots of shots here including some panoramas that should turn out quite well. From there I went back to the Torre a Mare (the medieval sighting tower) where Paolo Sandulli a local artist has his studio. For an hour he showed me around inside including his works that you could tell he is proud of. They are slightly Picasso-esque in style and capture Praiano and its…

Day 3 Amalfi Coast
Day 3 Amalfi Coast – Today will be remembered as the day I rode to Pompeii. What an amazing and adventure filled day! It started early getting up to grab some dawn shots along Amalfi. Beautiful morning here, no clouds, just birds singing, the waves gently rolling in on the pebble beached cove next to my accom. I was going to catch a bus or taxi to Pompeii.

Day 2 Amalfi Coast
Day 2 Amalfi Coast – Today was spectacular here at the Mediterranean Sea! I ventured with the bat bike to Positano, up to Agerola (looking down through cloud) and to Amalfi. Along the way I stopped at caves, coves, ruins, churches, art galleries, pebble beaches and medieval sighting towers, specifically placed to help fight against invasion all those years ago. There is such beauty and history here and I can see why so many people from all over the world come here to relax and enjoy. The water is a royal blue colour and the locals so friendly. Very happy with the shots I am getting 🙂

Day 1 Amalfi Coast
Day 1 Amalfi Coast – After another exhausting day of travelling (boat, plane, bus, taxi) and going from one sea to another, I have arrived in Praiano, Amalfi Coast, Southern Italy. Words can’t describe this place, so hopefully my photos will. As I sit typing this I look up steep rocky cliff faces that are so high they go up through cloud. The cliffs drop down into the crystal clear blue ocean and along the front is juttered by caves, small beach sections and boats (including large ocean liners). My hotel is built into the rock and I look along the cliffs and ocean all the way down to Amalfi, tough life. When…
