I gathered this image of the Monterosso Al Mare's stone statue from the beach while visiting Monterosso, Italy in September of 2007. Monterosso al Mare is located at the center of a small natural gulf, protected by a small artificial reef, to the east of Punta Mesco in the Riviera of La Spezia. It is the westernmost of the Cinque Terre. In the west part of the original village, beyond the hill of the Capuchins, it is the village of Fegina, natural expansion and characterized by a relatively modern tourist resort facility compared to the ancient village that is reachable through a tunnel of a few tens of meters. The local train station is located at Fegina and the beaches are relatively larger compared to the narrow cliffs that characterize the other villages of the Cinque Terre.
The town is divided into two distinct parts: the old town and the new town. The two areas are divided by a single tunnel that caters to pedestrians and the very few cars in the town.
The beach at Monterosso runs along most of the coast line and is well used by tourists and locals. The beach is the only extensive sand beach in the Cinque Terre. Monterosso is a small town overrun by tourists in the summer months. The village was briefly excluded from the Cinque Terre trail in 1948, but was re-introduced in mid-1949. Italian officials considered the village too large to be considered part of the historic trail. Visit If You Can!!

I remember the time was around midday.Lighting
The lighting for me was just perfect! I really liked the combination of the highlights and shadows!!!IEquipment
I gathered this image hand held with my Olympus SP500UZ.Inspiration
I did not need much inspiration as I had never seen anything like this before!!!!Editing
I always post process the images that I select to share! I post process with the latest version of Adobe Photoshop.In my camera bag
My Olympus cameras, in most cases my E-5 and my Olympus Om-System Zuiko lens collection - Zokio Reflex 500mm 1:8, 12-60mm 1: 28-4, 50mm 1:2, 50-200mm1:2.8-3.5, Lens and Camera cleaning supplies and an possibly an a bottle of water and a snack.Feedback
Always have your camera gear and lenses clean and ready to use in your bag as you never know when you will need them for that special moment. I also carry a bottle of water and a snack with me and my camera manual as my brain some times takes a nap! If you come across a vista or place you like gather several images from different perspectives as more processing choices are always nice to have!! Most of all have Fun!!!
