Narrow

Cinque Terre in Italy refers to a group of five villages on the rugged coastline of the Italian Riviera. This UNESCO World Heritage site, comprises villages that are connected by a network of trails and paths, boats and trains. Vehicular access is extremely limited with almost no vehicular access to most of the Villages. Terraces have been carefully built on the rugged steep slopes, resulting in narrow walkways between buildings and different areas of the village. One wonders how these narrow high buildings on steep slopes get larger items like furniture delivered. Imagine trying to deliver a double bed, or heavy appliances like a fridge or washing machine to one of these areas…. not easy!! Narrow is the prompt on the Weekly Photo Challenge this week, and images of some of these narrow walkways is my response to the prompt.

Weekly Photo Challenge : Vivid

With its 5 seaside villages each with colourful houses and ancient vineyards clinging on to steep terraces, and overlooking quaint harbours with colourful fishing boats Cinque Terre in Italy is indeed a Tourist hotspot in Summer. Surprisingly, this colourful atmosphere is not lost in the cold and wet winter months. Vivid is the prompt on the Weekly Photo Challenge, and images of colourful houses and boats at Manarola and Vernazza are my response to the prompt.
