The street lamps in via Asilo Maria Teresa in Sestri Levante.
Walking and taking pictures around my Sestri I try to alternate classic photos, of the Baia del Silenzio and the alley, with more unusual ones.
In this case the street lamps installed on the wall of Villa Balbi that illuminate via Asilo Maria Teresa.

The center of the village of Vernazza in the Cinque Terre

Il centro del borgo di Vernazza alle Cinque Terre

The center of the village of Vernazza in the Cinque Terre.
Some time ago, in winter, I was in Vernazza and it was almost shocking to walk in such an uncrowded village.
Right in January and with the Sentiero Azzurro closed you can fully enjoy the village.

The streets of the center of Cadiz in Spain

Le stradine del centro di Cadice in Spagna

The streets of the center of Cadiz in Spain.
Walking through the historic center of the beautiful city of Cadiz you walk along these very characteristic streets where the windows almost all have these very protruding wooden frames.
And then, normally, the ship docks right in front of the center and in five minutes you are already there!

Here's where the town is located:

It is probably the oldest city founded in the western Mediterranean area by the Phoenicians in the 11th century BC, although its birth is now officially dated back to the end of the 8th century BC.
Founded with the original name of Gadir (in Phoenician: Gdr, fortress, with the same etymology as Agadir in Morocco) on what was once a small archipelago and now a single island, to exploit the rich trade routes with the Atlantic Ocean in the copper and tin trade. In ancient Greece it was known as Gadeira and in the times of the Roman Empire as Gades from which the current gentilic name of gaditano derives.

The characteristic Penisola Levante street in Sestri Levante

La caratteristica via Penisola Levante a Sestri Levante

The characteristic Via Penisola Levante in Sestri Levante.
One of the most beautiful streets in Sestri, the one that leads first to the small walk of the Baia del Silenzio and then, continuing, goes up the Penisola (hence the name) and arrives at the church of San Nicolò and the Castelli.
I used the telephoto for this which is a little squashed but the effect is desired!

The Costa Diadema seen from the streets of Stavanger

La Costa Diadema vista dalle viuzze di Stavanger

The Costa Diadema seen from the streets of Stavanger.
Until a few months ago I was on board the Costa Diadema (of Costa Crociere) doing fjord cruises.
After many years I went out for a walk in the colorful neighborhood of Fargegaten (which I absolutely didn't remember) and from there the yellow chimney of the ship was sticking out.

Have you ever taken a Costa cruise to the fjords?

Costa Diadema is a cruise ship of the Genoese company Costa Crociere. Upon completion, it was the largest ship ever built under the Italian flag.

On 7 November, the ship was christened in the port of Genoa.

One of the painted doors of Santa Maria Street in Funchal

Uno dei portoni dipinti di via Santa Maria a Funchal in Portogallo

One of the painted doors of Santa Maria street in Funchal, Portugal.
One of the last times I was in the town of Funchal, on the island of Madeira, by ship, I discovered this street in the old town by chance.
It is a special place where, in addition to finding many restaurants and bars, you can admire these doors (but not only those) painted in an artistic way.
The one in this photo, at number 1, represents the street itself.

A Madonna in Via Asilo Maria Teresa in Sestri

Una Madonnina in via Asilo Maria Teresa a Sestri

A Madonnina in via Asilo Maria Teresa in Sestri Levante.
Walking around my Sestri I always try to frame objects or unpublished details to share them and, perhaps, get some more information by searching online or waiting for some visitor to add some news.
In this case my attention was drawn to this small Madonnina that emerges from the wall that borders via Asilo Maria Teresa and, given the position, I imagine that it is a statuette of what used to be the asylum.

Via Vittorio Veneto in centro a Chiavari

Via Vittorio Veneto in centro a Chiavari.
Il cantro di Chiavari è attraversato da una via rettilinea (caruggio) che è anche la via del passeggio.
Nella parte a Ponente si chiama via Martiri della Liberazione mentre nella parte a Levante si chiama via Vittorio Veneto (che poi volendo prosegue in Corso Dante).
Con il teleobiettivo si scattano foto che in questo caso ho volutamente reso un poco schiacciata ma era per cercare di coprire tutta la via in uno scatto solo.
