Naples Cathedral (Italian: Duomo di Napoli, Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta or Cattedrale di San Gennaro; Neapolitan: Viscuvato 'e Napule) is a Roman Catholic cathedral, the main church of Naples, southern Italy, and the seat of the Archbishop of Naples. It is widely known as the Cattedrale di San Gennaro, in honour of Saint Januarius, the city's patron saint.
History
The present cathedral was commissioned by King Charles I of Anjou. Construction continued during the reign of his successor, Charles II (1285-1309) and was completed in the early 14th century under Robert of Anjou. It was built on the foundations of two palaeo-Christian basilicas, whose traces can still be clearly seen. Underneath the building excavations have revealed Greek and Roman artifacts. (Wikipedia)

One of a series of long exposures that I did near Lowdermilk Park in Naples, Florida. My primary interest was the water, old posts in the water, and the sky after sunset, but I also turned a few shots back in the direction of the park where my family was waiting.

Castel dell'Ovo (in Italian, Egg Castle) is a seaside castle located on the former island of Megaride, now a peninsula, on the gulf of Naples in Italy. The castle's name comes from a legend about the Roman poet Virgil, who had a reputation in medieval times as a great sorcerer. In the legend, Virgil put a magical egg into the foundations to support the fortifications.
The Castel dell'Ovo is the oldest standing fortification in Naples.

My entire extended family gathered last week in Naples Florida for a last minute family reunion. The occasion was both jovial and somber. All of my Aunts, Uncles and Cousins were there...it was great catching up with everyone. The reason for the last minute gathering was not so great however. My 30 year old cousin was in the end stages of his battle with cancer. It was great spending time with my cousin before he passed. Every night I would head down to the beach and think of this song by Luke Bryant:
When I got the news today
I didn't know what to say.
So I just hung up the phone.
I took a walk to clear my head,
This is where the walking led
Can't believe you're really gone
Don't feel like going home
So I'm gonna sit right here
On the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer
Funny how the good ones go
Too soon, but the good Lord knows
The reasons why, I guess
Sometimes the greater plan
Is kinda hard to understand
Right now it don't make sense
I can't make it all make sense
"Drink a Beer"
Luke Bryant
Exploring Naples by foot, I was caught by these amazing open courtyards and their entranceways.
All different, some with ornate staircases, statues, lifts, parked cars and scooters, washing hanging out etc. Every one needed to be peered into, and those that were closed, maybe another visit?

One thousand feet long, 126 years old, the Naples Pier was built in 1888 at the end of 12th Avenue South.
The pier was an essential part of settling and developing Naples as building materials and supplies all came by boat to the area.
Today the Pier is the most iconic spot in the city.
People come here to go fishing, spot a dolphin or sea turtle passing by or just catch the sunset.
Artists and photographers continually seek new ways of capturing the Pier and its moods.
