My eyes kept going to the red outlined doors on the left. I know you didn't circle anything there, but the second I look away my brain says "Hey, he circled something in red! Check it out!"

Finally a HDR photo that isn't too strong. Excellent photo! As a photographer I would love to have this photo.

Is this picture named Jealousy?

shaggy1010 · 7 months

Sorento really is a beautiful city, I liked it a lot better than Capri

thetroubleis · 7 months

That is one of the best original pictures I have seen in a while, nicely done I love it. Why would anyone down vote this? Jealousy?

SeaSharp · 7 months

I met my wife about 10 meters from where this was taken! Awesome shot.

Sir_Dimos · 7 months

Lived all over the Napoletano coastline for a little over a year and Sorrento (along with the rest of the Amalfi coast) was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

I really hope it lasts like that. From what the locals told me, Castellammare di Stabia (a town about 15km up the coast from Sorrento) was very much like Sorrento back in the 1950s, but if you visit it today the beach is covered in trash and what hotels were there, are now abandoned.

Also - Napoli itself can be a scary place when you're just visiting, but I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a city in Italy with more saturated culture and history than Napoli. It's worth visiting if you have a bit of street smarts about you.

Going there in April.

If this was a video game, you'd be looking for the red door.

eddie1996 · 7 months

I didn't know Sorrento was is HDR land...

dog_in_the_vent · 7 months

Surprisingly that road has two lanes plus a turning lane in the middle.

oh_sheesh · 7 months

Ah, so that's where all of the cheese comes from

cockpitatheist · 7 months

I've been there! We stayed at hotel just at the end of this street! That was quite the set of stairs to walk up and down, haha. There's a video floating around youtube of us singing Piano Man in the bar that that little door on the left goes to. What a great town!

MCAngles · 7 months

The gniocchi at Tasso Restaurant...well worth your time.

isocline · 7 months

I'm going to Sorrento in May! So excited, especially now that I know that it is this beautiful!

LadyHenwin · 7 months

I miss that place. Had my first drink of Limoncello there. Italy is quite beautiful.

ryan848 · 7 months

I've walked down that road! :D

Obazda · 7 months

Is this by chance part of Cinque Terre?

mystery_trams · 7 months

Has anyone else been to the restaurant at the top of the stairs on the left? Il Buco? Phenomenal place. Had my favourite meal ever there!

Anecthrios · 7 months

Isn't that technically Naples? I've been in that exact spot you were standing.

mvendrx · 7 months

Can't wait! We're headed there this summer for a few days on our eurotrip.

Chachbag · 7 months

That's where my family originated from. I've been there, a beautiful little town.

kcufsiht · 7 months

Such a beautiful place...

crookedcontours · 7 months

Looks very similar to a photo I took in Capri http://beachesandbridges.tumblr.com/post/269178428/road-to-capri

mattpenner1343 · 7 months

The walk down those stairs to get to the road is especially horrible when hungover...but you can rent a boat that seats 6 for 300 euro for 5 hours and take it out to Capri...no captain needed! One of the best days of my life.

[deleted] · 7 months

This was my favorite city when I went to Italy. I'd absolutely love to go back.

[deleted] · 7 months

Been here and absolutely loved it. My favourite thing was watching buses drive up that narrow twisty road.

cccjfs · 7 months

Most beautiful country in the world

ANatale · 7 months

I can attest to the fact that it is as beautiful in real live as this picture.

Mr_Quacky · 7 months

I saw this picture and realized I went there when I was 14 on a school trip. I had totally forgotten the name of the place. So thanks!

trinacria1383 · 7 months

Amazing. My favorite place in Italy.

miranderp · 7 months

I took the same picture, only the light washed it out and it doesn't look as pretty.

SavvyStereo · 7 months

I stayed in a bungalow by the cliffs just a few streets from this photo, beautiful part of the world. And a very easy 1.5 hour train (circumvesuvio) ride form Naples!

BinAlaDiN · 7 months

This place was nice to see, especially if you went there from Naples...

skyclown · 7 months

gorgeous, just like Italian women and food

codechino · 7 months

as much as i loved sorrento, i loved positano more

cdubs21 · 7 months

Stunning. I was actually at this exact spot like 3 months ago. Bringing back some great memories

speedofdark8 · 7 months

Ah yes this is such a gorgeous city. This is a must see for anyone travelling to Italy.

pretty sure i walked down this street in the middle of the night this summer trying to find ice cream. unsuccessful :(

jvenable2893 · 7 months

If I was Ezio I would free run the shit out of that.

notreallycanadian · 7 months

I was there a few years ago. It was absolutely the most beautiful city I've ever visited. If you ever have the chance to go, do not hesitate. On a clear day you're able to see across the bay to Pompii; Mt. Vesuvius lies in the background. Simply breathtaking.

crystalbluecurrents · 7 months

Absolutely beautiful.

MONDARIZ · 7 months

Unfortunately it’s a lot more touristy when you get there.

[deleted] · 7 months

I hear the moon is pretty sweet here.

benb3342 · 7 months

We went there for our honeymoon. We couldn't afford to go and had booked 2 nights in a hotel in Chester, but my uncle suprised us with a week in Sorrento :) My wife's favourite part? The good looking waiters in the bar in the centre.

zoo32 · 7 months

I hope to return there someday, I went there when I was 17 part of my high school graduation gift. I had fun the day we were there but I know I'd appreciate it more now.

aphan3 · 7 months

I walked all the way down there to get to our hotel by the water on our EF tour. It's so cool that I can say that.

This is the first time during my life on the web where someone posted a picture to a beautiful location (thats not domestic) and I've actually been there before. Sorrento would definitely be on my list of places to go to again.

thatwasntveryraven · 7 months

If it weren't for the buses in the way...

samuraimonster · 7 months

If you're going to photoshop a sunset in then please be sure that the shadows make even a little sense. Everything should be casting a shadow back at the camera. The town looks like it was shot in the early afternoon.

indyphil · 7 months

just need to make something clear about these HDR comments. My first thought when looking at this photo was not "HDR" but that its a composite made from one image on an ordinary cloudy day and another of a sunset dropped in the background.

Further proof comes from google maps when you realize that this was shot facing almost Due North in Italy. The Sun is never in that location (North) when in the northern Hemisphere. It "looks" HDR to the untrained eye because of the sky/buildings share similar tonal range, but its merely a composite. In sunlight like that there should be shadows etc...

its nice, but I didnt find it to be convincing.

PrimeTime123 · 7 months

Been there, too. Couldn't enjoy the beauty thou, because everyone, including me, was drunk the whole time.

scorpio_on_blue_moon · 7 months

That is one of the best HDR photo I've ever seen !!

ThisPhotoIsUnrelated · 7 months

Nope.

saydokan · 7 months

I bet this looks like shit without all the manipulation like HDR and Photoshop.

shit_reddit_says · 7 months

Easy on the saturation slider.

I hate what photoshop has done to photography.

Yan-e-toe · 7 months

Haven't the top gear crew been there? This rang a bell.

fatalacorn · 7 months

I want to paint this.

clamskittles · 7 months

Ahhhh, Sorrento. this is where, whilst vising on vacation with my friends, we played "IRL counter strike" in the wet, marble, pool side bathroom. I was sliding across the floor throwing a "flash bang" and slipped to my doom. Got a giant gash across my forehead that needed 6 stitches and spent the night in an Italian hospital. Freak my parents out, but I think due to the bad ass scar and stitches, I got laid on a Grecian pleasure cruise a week later. oh Sorrento, thanks!

ACiDGRiM · 7 months

Wall paper res of this please! at least 1080p hopefully. Couldn't find it via google image search.

This. This place. How can I move here?

I longboarded down that road back in September. Probably should have died, there is usually much more traffic.

This would make a great setting for an Assassin's Creed game.

how many of you instantly focused on the red doors thinking there was something wrong. haha

ben9345 · 7 months

Been there. Was way too hot for my English skin.

/thread

Sinborn · 7 months

Yeah I probably have a pic of Sorrento I can turn the color ALL THE FUCKING WAY UP on and have it look the same. But have you actually been there?

ben9345 · 7 months

Been there. Was way too hot for my English skin.

Also went on a day trip to the island of Capri; could get NSFW this chick out of my head NSFW

Really awkward on a family holiday

funfungiguy · 7 months

Reminds me of the show called Gunslinger Girl.

Wait... why didn't just just build a road over the hill...

Although nice to look at, this all seems highly impractical and inefficient.

Did anyone else immediately get reminded of that one Need For Speed map?

GrosshirnMomo · 7 months

No do it in Minecraft!

jigby61 · 7 months

No coins,no turtles,no mushrooms,no plumbers. Not Italy.

chazzbass · 7 months

omg i love that place, i used to jog down that road when i stayed there.

d_pug · 7 months

Why did this aesthetic sense not make it over the Atlantic when the Italians came to this country? Now all we have are tacky white brick guido mansions with bathtub madonnas littering Johnston, RI.

duelingkazoos · 7 months

That shit does not look up to code. Pretty though.

votercolonel · 7 months

Italy is wasted on the Italians.

Homeless_Bozo · 7 months

If I lived there I would murder my roommate. Later I would write a book about it and make lots of money and people would fawn over me like I'm a princess when in fact I'm a murderous little harlot. YAAAY!

vitaminDon · 7 months

This reminds me of a level of the last James Bond game that I played. I believe that it was Night Fire. Yeah, I was right. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=james%20bond%20nightfire%20sorrento%20italy&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCoQtwIwAg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D838RuFx-4QA&ei=MhVIT5y-BoWsiQKli-3aDQ&usg=AFQjCNH0DyQ8ohgVkkCub8GgcvjjZPrF0w
