The nine minute journey from La Spezia I soon found however is 96% dark tunnel. The four percent of scenic views is shared 3% with the suburbs of La Spezia and 1%  when you are smacked in the face by the Mediterranean Sea when you arrive at the platform in Riomaggiore. The build-up of anticipation only adds to the impact of this dramatic coastline which barely needs an introduction. I’ll be the first to admit to squealing a little (there may have been some jumping involved too) with excitement when the train slowed and the sea appeared. Cinque Terre is visited year round by crowds of tourists stepping off boats, yachts and like me, the train. The best part though is there are miles of photo worthy coastline to explore so you can find your own little part of paradise and escape the day trippers.

As you may have read, I recently moved from Australia to France. This also marked the start of a photography project that I’ve been preparing and planning for what feels like years! For the next twelve months I’ll be exploring the European coastline and photographing beautiful villages from the sea; not from a boat, but from underwater in a collection of split level images. The split level approach is all about showcasing both the underwater world and coastal landscape in a single photograph. It’s about changing perspectives and having a little fun seeing the world from a new angle. What better way is there to experience a new destination than gazing at it from the water!? The bucket list of places to photograph for this project is constantly growing and I doubt it will ever stop. I’ve got coastal locations from France to Montenegro, Portugal to Norway on my radar....
