ITALY ~ Positano - Amalfi Coast - UNESCO ~

... A spectacular view... large waves crashing against shore and houses during a storm... the Amalfi Coast is a stunning coastline with steep cliffs that drop right into the Mediterranean sea creating a dramatic harmony of land, sea and sky... known for its production of limoncello liqueur as the area is a cultivator of lemons... the beauty of the landscape, have contributed to make it famous world-wide... a favourite with writers and poets...
