Describing a photo.

This photo shows Salerno, a city in Campania. It was taken by a plane. It's a coloured photo, In the background we can see mountains and some houses. On the left there's the motorway that connects Salerno to Reggio Calabria, and it's called A3. On the right there's Tyrrhenian Sea. In the middle there's Salerno with its houses and its buildings. In the foreground there's the harbour of Salerno, that is connected to many cities. I like this picture because it shows a wonderful landscape of Salerno, one of my favourite cities, and it transmits a sense of tranquility.
