In July we spent a leisurely day on Arienzo Beach in balmy temperatures and with crystal clear blue seas. Six months later and the beach looks a bit different. Today a 2 – 3 metre swell rolled into Positano and the cliffs and beaches took a real beating. From further up the cliff at Villa Greta it was great to wake to the sound of waves crashing onto the beach.

It was a real challenge getting the photograph in between the showers that arrived during the morning. Well, it is winter after all.
