Today’s Friday Travel Photo takes you to Bary, Italy – an unsuspecting port town on Italy’s east coast.
Fate would result in me spending a night here after traveling some 16 hours via train, bus, and ferry from Sicily. My goal was to catch a ferry to Athens – I unfortunately missed the ferry and ended up spending a night here.
I spent the evening wandering the cobblestone streets and taking in the feel of the place. It’s an excellent example of how unplanned changes to your travels may result in you finding your new favorite destination.

I’m impressed that you were able to get a good shot even though it’s so dark and I’m guessing you didn’t have a tripod? Looks like this would be a fun place to photograph in daylight hours too!
@Christy No tripod, only a pocket sizd Canon Power Shot SD1000.
@Michael Yes I managed to find a hostel! Nice from what I remember …
@Wanderingtrader Thanks mate, it turned out pretty well for a ‘point and shoot’ shot!
haha, you just wandered the street? Did you sleep? Hmm, this post seems like it could of turned into a lot more so perhaps you are lucky its just a nice photo and lonely paces on a cobblestone street.
@christy: you can increase the Image Stabilization on your camera to help with the blur when taking pics at night
that looks ridiculously eeerieee!
The unexpected turns are the best. We didn’t plan on most of our Turkish itinerary, and it’s turning out great.
@Clark Merhaba! Hopefully you’re enjoying Turkey!
