Cinque Terre as Evening Falls

It's hard to say where my favorite stop was during our 55-day photo tour in Europe. This area of Italy is easily in the top 10, though. I've always wanted to visit this place, so we decided to make it happen! There are five small towns here embedded into the coastline of Italy. You can hike between all five or take a little train that connects all of them. We decided to take the train to cover as much ground as possible. I took this after an amazing dinner and a lot of wine. I definitely had over a bottle before going over to take this photo. I was quite drunk, but I still managed to set up the shot in the middle of a beautiful rain. I did a 16-second exposure so you could not see the rain and to smooth out all the waves crashing into the rocks to make it look more mystical. Cinque Terre, Italy
