Description

The image captures the cliffside in Sorrento and the various buildings on the cliff. Among the builds on the cliff side are two hotel, Tramontano and Tasse. The waters below allow the bottom to become a port for boats with some already tied up and a small rowboat coming into port carrying passengers. There cliff stands tall with rocks and greenery covering the cliffside; Hotel Tramontano spans the length of the cliff and levels out with the other buildings that are on top of the cliff, as there is a gap in the cliffside in which the hotel was built in.
