The Amalfi Coast is connected to a long stretch of beautiful scenery. Here, you can wake up and get drunk, and one day is longer than a hundred years. This is one of the 50 most beautiful spots in the world. It belongs to the high mountains of Italy, but it is blown by the gentle wind of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Driving in the wind, the flowery slopes and deep water are full of fragrance. In Ravello, where Garbo used to live in seclusion, the fiery red geraniums bloomed to full bloom. Listening carefully, the sound of Minori waves is still there, and the terns are flapping their wings, as if they have seen each other before. The traveler finally calmed down his worries, just like dusk falling on the silent mountain forest. The plane passed through the clouds, and in the golden sunset, the mountains in the distance were misty and the dusk mist rose. The Bay of Naples is surrounded by Mount Vesuvius and slowly stretches into the sky. The setting sun is bright red and has already soaked the entire sea surface. The dotted houses, waves, and sails are shrouded in haze, calm and peaceful, and beautiful.
This was an unexpected trip that surpassed all expectations and longings for Italy. The shocking scenery here still keeps popping up in my mind and is hard to get rid of. Amalfi, this beautiful coast, is my latest imagination of paradise.
Amalfi, a beautiful coast

The Amalfi Coast is connected to a long stretch of beautiful scenery. Here, you can wake up and get drunk, and one day is longer than a hundred years. We drove onto the highway towards Salerno, the western entrance to the Amalfi Coast. Regardless of the temperature or the driving style of the surrounding vehicles, they all hint at how passionate South Italy is - when the traffic jam stalls, there are often young handsome guys driving motorcycles in the long queues, leaving behind a pungent tail. of smoke. The beach stretches out in a graceful arc against the cliff. In the green shadow surrounded by two rows of palm trees, a woman wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat and black glasses raises the corners of her mouth and smiles as brightly as the midday sun. Once upon a time, Italian nobles opened their residences here to stay away from the prosperity of Rome and live a simple and pure life for a few days. Now it has become a good place for swimming, dazing, basking in the sun and watching bikini beauties. Only when you see the few churches along the street and their antique rounded corners can you recall what they looked like in their heyday. What remains unchanged is the wind from the Tyrrhenian Sea, which has been blowing for centuries, always carrying a faint scent of lemon.
The high mountains of Italy
The road follows the mountains, the car rises and falls on the steep slope, and there is a heart-warming blue color outside the window. The ancient castle stands on the seaside, green sun umbrellas are lined up in rows, and the big word "Minori" appears on the notice board. The first town of Minori is right in front of you. There are many trees with unique shapes along the way. The two most famous ones are in the Rufolo Garden (Villa Rufolo). Together with the church spire, they have become the darlings of Ravello postcards. The right side of the trail is covered with grape vines, the mountains in the distance are undulating and green, and the sky is almost pale in color. The famous Villa Simbonai is hidden behind a wooden door, with a large pot of geraniums standing in front of the door. When you push the door open, you will see colorful flowers and geraniums in full bloom. Now it is used as a hotel, with green grass in front of the door and an excellent sea view. Walking in the garden, you will see pink flowers dotted everywhere, which is very pleasing to the eye. Moving forward, a corridor appeared, and I was amazed. It turned out that the soul of Villa Simbonai was here - the entire Amalfi Bay was in full view, the sea breeze blew in my face, the mountains in the distance were shallow, and the smoke near the shore was vast. The steep slope is snailing, just because it is at the top of the mountain at this moment. As expected, all the mountains are small. Heading west from Minori, the mountains rise all the way, and the seascape in the rearview mirror gradually recedes, replaced by patches of deep green. It is a terraced field with green mountains all over. Under the shade of the golden rain, billowing green waves are set off. At the end of the terraces is the small town of Ravello in the mountains. Although it is not known to everyone, there are many celebrities who have lived in seclusion here - the composer Wagner, Pope Charles I, and Jesse Kennedy. I raised my camera and suddenly felt that photos could no longer express the charm of this scenery. I have been using the 650D to shoot short videos throughout the whole process, and the full HD quality perfectly restores the beautiful scenery around me. The large and beautiful blur and high ISO sensitivity shooting also have less noise, allowing the beauty of these two towns to remain vivid in my hard drive.
Every time you go to a town or village, you must first go to its highest point, and then walk down slowly, usually for more than two hours. Because you really don’t want to leave the scenery you think you will never see again, and keep taking pictures. One unwilling place to leave followed another unwilling to leave place, and another and another. Many buildings on the cliffside have beautiful yards and open-air swimming pools. Bougainvillea and oleander are in full bloom on the porch.
In the twists and turns of the mountain, there are always a few shady places that don't see the sun all year round. The fruits fall all over the ground, no one cares about them, and they dry and ferment alone. The rich aroma of the wine is unmatched by any bottled wine. , it is wild and has an untamed wildness. It seems that there is no need to drink. Just take a deep smell and you will be confused and drunk in the mountains and fields. Li Qingzhao "Dongli drinks wine after dusk, and there is a faint fragrance filling the sleeves." "But this time I was drinking wine in the Western Regions after dusk, and there was a faint fragrance around my ankles. They say Italians are lazy. No matter how lazy they are, they will never build a ropeway or elevator to the "Allelujah Mountain" to reach the sky! I admire the Italians' respect for nature and ancient buildings. Even in the 21st century, which is developing rapidly, you can still see this most primitive and most environmentally friendly means of transportation on the Amalfi Coast, which is so rich that you can't even imagine it. -donkey!
The Amalfi Coast is 60 miles long, and almost all the most beautiful scenery is on the cliffs
I have never seen such a strong jasmine tree. It is as strong as a tree. A northern peach tree, whether I am going up or down the mountain, I can smell its fragrance from a distance. Under the guidance of this fragrance, no matter how rugged the mountain road is, no matter how long the steps are, no matter how difficult it is to tell the direction in the dark, as long as I smell it, When I arrived at Jasmine, I knew that the hotel I was staying in was just ahead. I expected that when I arrived here on the first day, the car would meander on the cliffs, coming and going in zigzags. The blue Mediterranean Sea is gradually lowering, the clouds in the blue sky are gradually lowering, and the church spire is gradually lowering. The lemon groves are getting closer and closer, and their fresh scent is getting closer. The glass of lemon ice drink handed over by the landlady was placed on the white terrace wall. The dewdrops condensed on the glass wall and the blue sea in the distance shone in the sun, like the Aegean Sea or the Kingdom of Heaven. It turns out that the entire Amalfi is rich in lemons and limoncello. The scent of lemon lingers long and long on the cliffs that permeates the cliff all day long.
Lost in the flow of light and shadow. In Amalfi, the light of sunrise is not intoxicating or charming, but fresh, irresistible, and able to pierce the darkness and ghosts. Watching the sunrise here is not just the moment when the sun jumps out, but the many moments when the Amalfi Coast receives the golden light. The night on the Amalfi cliffs is particularly quiet. The cool breeze blows the lemon leaves and the olive leaves rustle. You stretch out your hand, follow the wind and the smell of the leaves, and you can touch the dream in the invisible front. Just adjust the sensitivity (ISO) accordingly according to the light environment of the scene, and you can restore the light and shadow of Amalfi in various periods to the maximum extent. The most noteworthy thing is its "Handheld Night Scenery" mode, which can easily capture beautiful night scenes without the assistance of other equipment. I no longer have to worry about shaking when shooting. Using this function, the graininess is no longer so obvious when shooting at night, which makes me almost forget about the existence of a tripod while walking around. The built-in creative filter function of the camera can also process the photos that have been taken on the camera to produce the same effect as applying a special filter. Adjust it to grainy black and white in front of the sculpture, adjust it to soft focus on the coast, adjust it to a miniature landscape on the cliff, and adjust it to a fish-eye effect in front of the food.
