Archival shot

This is what my beloved Castellammare del Golfo was like before the onslaught of tourism, when the port functioned as such and fishermen still went out at night in great numbers. Now this has become a so called tourist port and it,s warehouses have all been turned to restaurants and fancy cafes. Sad, really. The old charm is gone. This shot on Kodachrome II and the Canon FT with the 50mm f1.4 FL canon lens dates from August of 1969.
