Prickly pear flowers on the sea of ​​Sestri Levante.
Some time ago you took lots of photos of flowers and today I wanted to bring some color back to the blog.
Many prickly pear plants grow along the wall beyond the Cappuccini in the Baia del Silenzio of my Sestri Levante and, when I bring my telephoto lens and they are in season, I always like to take a nice photo of these bright pink flowers.

Camogli and a prickly pear

Camogli e un fico d'india

Camogli and a prickly pear.
The famous Basilica Minore di Santa Maria Assunta, present in almost all the photos of the town.
In this case you can only see a glimpse of it; in the foreground you can see a beautiful prickly pear with ripe fruit.
I thought it would be beautiful to capture both things in one shot.
Between the two subjects is also the circular terrace which is the point where almost all the photos are taken.

Do you know the village of Camogli?
