La bella Genova, La Superba

Genoa is truly a wonderful city. Located on the Western side of Italy on a magnificent gulf that faces the South on the Ligurian Sea, it was one of the major maritime republics of Italy. Once it was the busiest port in Italy and on of the most important in Europe. The waterfront has been sort of gentrified and a  porto turistico has been created with all sort of public spaces. It houses one of the most important aquariums in the world. A truly superb site and a must visit. When I visited I fell in love with a wonderful huge sea turtle.

These photos were all shot with the Canon G-9 as a testament to what a good point and shoot is capable of doing. These are out of the camera JPEGS. It was a lovely Saturday afternoon in May.
