During a trip to Tuscany for a workshop led by a friend, I took the opportunity to visit Cinque Terre, a stunning region of northern Italy known for its five cliffside villages overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. This area is famous for its scenic walking trail that connects all five villages, often referred to as the Via dell’Amore, or the "Love Trail.”
Manarola, the smallest and likely the oldest of the five villages, immediately captivated me. The cornerstone of its church, San Lorenzo, dates back to 1338, underscoring the town's deep historical roots. Manarola is a quaint fishing town where boats are lined up along the beach, with more bobbing in the bay, creating a picturesque scene as you stroll through its narrow streets.
I arrived in Manarola a couple of days before the workshop to capture its beauty in the early morning light. Climbing up the cliffside path overlooking the village, I set up my camera and watched as the partially lit sky complemented the colorful buildings below. The scene was a perfect blend of natural light and vibrant architecture, embodying the timeless charm of this remarkable place

Ada Covered Bridge in Cheer
The Ada Covered Bridge, also known as the "Bradfield Bridge," is a charming historic structure located in Ada, Michigan. Built in 1867, this 125-foot-long bridge spans the Thornapple River and is one of the few remaining covered bridges in the state. Its unique construction and picturesque surroundings make it a beloved landmark, especially during the winter months when snow blankets the landscape and holiday lights enhance its nostalgic beauty.
While visiting Grand Rapids, Michigan, where I grew up, I stumbled upon the Ada Covered Bridge shortly after a snowfall just before Christmas. To my surprise, the bridge was illuminated with festive Christmas lights, creating a magical scene. I captured the image, which became a personal favorite. One of my close friends admired the photograph so much that they displayed it above their fireplace mantel. Every time I see it in their home, I can’t help but smile, remembering that special moment.
