Castellamare del Golfo

#1 I like - nice series. I like shots like that - the old lady still working hard.

#2 - That's crazy - why so messy? Don't they have *shhh* mafia there to make sure things are kept in order?

#3 Nice shot although I would have cropped it tighter to remove that bit of wall/floor in front of you to the right - it's blow out and a bit distracting.

The mess in that second shot is shocking - seriously, why was it so messy?

Thank's John!
The removal was on strike...remember the big strike in Naples some 2 years ago?
It was about as drastic as it was there!

I was in Naples a few years back. Italy is a beautiful country but Naples felt like a different world - it felt like I was in Brazil - in a shanty town. Italy is a crazy country - a county of contrasts and contradictions. It's where I asked my wife to marry me and where we went on our honeymoon. I'd go back there every year if I could.

They don't know how to queue over there though and the less said about their driving the better.

They do make make nice cars though.
