Strong Shadows in Porto Venere

During my recent trip to Italy, we stayed on one of the main streets in Porto Venere.  This street fronted on a fairly narrow alley, with then sun only lighting up the alley for a few hours each day.  I used my vintage Nikon FG film camera to take a few photos highlighting the sun and shadows.

As it was relatively cool out, sitting in the sun to check your messages made a lot of sense:

I’ll have more film photos (and digital!) to share from Italy over the next few weeks.
