Return of a classic

I absolutely love this photo. Taken late at night after all had retired and the street and chairs were empty, it evokes a very peaceful feeling. I have posted it before but it's worth posting again.

Via degli Archi

I was returning home very late one summer night and as I was walking -left to right- I came upon this  sight. I  would always see Via degli Archi [Avenue of the Arches]  full of people but at this time it was totally empty but fascinating. I only took one shot because in those days I was still thinking film that naturally was costly. When I downloaded the image I realized that I had hit the proverbial jackpot. It is one of my favorite  shots of by Beloved Castellammare del Golfo.

Night shot

This is a shot that sort of just happened and one that I have never been able to duplicate or shoot again. I was walking home, late at night, in Castellammare del Golfo when on my left I noted this alley. I love how the chairs and the street lights define the image. One of my better efforts.
