The shimmering velvety sea
relaxes under the gentle rays of the sun
wisps of clouds stray in the canopy of blue
the endless horizon lost in a reverie
listening to the tales of the zephyr
the fresh ocean scent lingers on
slumbering waves, in its sapphire robe
embrace the shore, kissing it
A panoramic vista of serenity
envelopes a sense of calm
opening the gateway to paradise!

Prompt : Vista
Recently we visited Cinque Terre, the once isolated string of 5 fishing villages (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso) on the rugged Italian coastline, which today is a popular tourist place. Still maintaining its quaint old world charm, it boasts of some spectacular views of the Mediterranean sea, from atop the cliff. The best way to explore these villages once you get off the train, is by foot. It is dotted with tiny cafes, hiking trails, small vineyards. The houses perched on the steep landscapes, with their vibrant colors make it a visual delight.
