A Riomaggiore Sunset - (Cinque Terre, Italy)

    As a recovering wage slave, I'm also a firm believer of wasting as much time as possible at work. So at the very least, by liking my Facebook Page, I'm helping you, help me, help you, by helping us, burn a few more minutes off the work day.

    Let’s waste even more time together: |-| Twitter |-| Smugmug |-| 500px |-| Technical Mumbo Jumbo |-|

    Since I grabbed this particular position early, you don’t see the dozens and dozens of people scattered around behind me. You also can’t hear the drunk American guy screaming at the top of his lungs, “Mother Nature, F@#K Yea!”

    Really American dude? Really?! We’re all here, different people from all over the world, sitting here in polite silence as we witness this amazing sunset from this amazing place, and your best contribution is, “WOOOHOOO, F@#K Yea Mother Nature!”

    Here I was thinking that George W. Bush was the only bad thing for our worldly image. Shit, I guess I’ll need to buy a Canadian flag jacket after all...

    If you want to see stellar sunsets like this one, Riomaggiore, Italy is the place for you. In fact, all of Cinque Terre is staggeringly beautiful and easy to get to. Do me a favor though, if you run into F@#k Yea Mother Nature Guy, punch him in the face and give him my best.

      Canadian flag jacket. Too funny. But I know what you mean about that one guy wrecking something special. Glad you were still able to get this beautiful image though!

      Um.. if you get the jacket, please be polite and don't forget your "aboot's" and "eh's"... We're ok with you posing as Canadian but please try to act the part :)
      Great image.

      great sunset-picture and story!

      The funny part about this trip is that I met a cool Canadian Photographer with a Canadian Jacket on. I asked him if he was an American. ;) He said no eh. -- It turns out that's not what he was all aboot.
