I do not think I shall ever forget the sight of Etna at sunset; the mountain almost invisible in a blur of pastel grey, glowing on the top and repeating its shape, as though reflected, in a wisp of grey smoke with the whole horizon behind radiant with pink light, fading gently into a grey pastel sky. Nothing I have seen in Art or Nature was quite so sublime.

The wanderer returns from a wonderful summer (late autumn) break in Sicily. The weather and views were perfect. I love this fascinating view from my hotel room in Taormina.
How superb to look out on this from your room. Welcome back
Thanks Lisl
I would love to visit myself.
You would love the dining experiences in Taormina. So many restaurants for you to experience and review
Mr C agree on the top three dining experiences, although we have them in a different order, for different reasons
How great to find a quote thAt is so appropriate.
I searched for the quote to accompany my photo
The photo is leading up to the travel diaries of my recent holiday. I am still editing the photos to accompany the posts.
Welcome back!
I hope you had a great time in Sicily.
Did you save any lemon gelato for me?
There is a little bit of Limoncello in the wings. You will have to be quick
i absolutely love this silhouette over the gradually transforming shades in the sky, CP. bravo!
Thank you Ayush
The changing views over Etna were fascinating. I got a bit carried away with taking photographs…
Went to Lake Como earlier this year.
It was bigger than I thought.
Haven’t been to Sicily though.
Did you climb Mt Etna?
I walked on Etna, although I did not climb up it. I had a fascinating walk around an extinct crater.
Fabulous view …
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan
Now that I am home I am missing that view!
