Along the northern coast ~ Italy

I decided to walk back along the winding coast from Portofino to Santa Margherita on a warm sunny afternoon. The road was narrow and winding with many cars zipping by. Too bad for them because I feel the only way to appreciate this part of the coastline is on foot. I came around a corner and saw this tall narrow rock with a tree growing out of the top. Strange to think this is even possible. The locals call it “La Caraga” which means The Chair.

I have been waking with the sun everyday and this particular morning I went for a walk just as the sun was rising. The light was soft and hazy and the streets were quiet. This is my favourite time of day. The only others I saw were fisherman preparing their nets for the day. 

Now to explore more of the town and the narrow streets. Another day to be filled with painting and writing...it's great to be alive!
