Amalfi at night – seen from the pier

I am very slow with editing my photos from my trip to Amalfi coast, I did these once and for some reason I forgot to save them… all edits lost and well there were over 2000 photos, so for me to redo them is less inspirational.
These are taken from the marina area at Amalfi, the town looks lovely in the evening too. These young dancers were so endearing.

The small town of Positano

I spent a day, walking in this lovely little town, and can Highly recommend it. No words needed to describe how pretty it is.

Travel – Positano – Italy

Positano is a small picturesque town with splendid coastal views, on the famous Amalfi Coast in Campania, Italy. The town itself is perched on an enclave on the face of a hill and winds down towards the waters of the Amalfi Coast. These are taken when approaching Positano from sea

Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea/Duomo di Amalfi

Here are my take of the Amalfi Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea/Duomo di Amalfi) is a 9th-century Roman Catholic structure in the Piazza del Duomo, Amalfi, Italy. It is dedicated to the Apostle Saint Andrew. Predominantly of Arab-Norman Romanesque[citation needed] architectural style, it has been remodeled several times, adding Romanesque, Byzantine, Gothic, and Baroque elements. The cathedral includes the adjoining 9th century Basilica of the Crucifix. Leading from the basilica are steps into the Crypt of St. Andrew.


The front facade was rebuilt in 1891 after the original one collapsed. It is of striped marble and stone with open arches that have lace detailing not commonly found in Italian sacred architecture while the tiled cupola is quite common amongst churches of the area. The tympanum’s mosaics portray “The triumph of Christ” in a work created by Domenico Morelli and whose original designs are retained in the Town Hall.Sixty-two steps, wide and steep, lead up to the doors The structure includes four small towers of Arab architectural type that are adorned with arches and are covered with majolica tiles. During times of war, the bell tower was purposed for defense.


The garden contains colonnades, arches and sculptures. (text Wikipedia)

Beach paradise on the Andaman Sea

Thailands  beach paradise, Railay Beach also frequently referred to as Rai Leh or Rai Lay — is a small peninsula just south of the town of Ao Nang, Krabi. It’s attached to Krabi’s mainland, but cut off by towering limestone cliffs from all the roads and towns.

This isolation from the mainland, and the complete absence of cars and roads, gives Railay Beach a very island feel. All photos in this gallery can be enlarged by a click
