Mt Etna’s Eye

Mount Etna on the island of Sicily is an an eye of Mother Nature. The volcano is an awe-inspiring sight 3500 meters above sea level. One night while walking in Taormina, the volcano erupted. Visible flames could be seen shooting in the air from over 60 km away.

Suddenly one night while I was visiting Taormina Sicily, a moment of calm turned into a display of the power of Nature. 60 km away at 3500 meters above sea level, Mt Etna erupted with flames on the high horizon. #travel #traveltiktok #landscapephotography #mothernature #volcano

Pisa, Not A Cartoon Gag

How many Saturday Morning cartoons did I watch with the Tower of Pisa as a center of joke? Always the same gag, the character’s actions either shift or straighten the famed structure. Never mind the animation jokes, the 14th century architectural work is worth the trip to Pisa. As one of the most recognized designed forms, I had a sense of amazement walking up to the Tower, a soft, noble elegant presence that even tourist doing the common pose could not cheapen.

A Lot Charm In A Small Place

I visited Volkach on a late Saturday. Another wine country town situated above the Main River in the Franconia Region of Bavaria. A charming square in the centre, a high tower gate on the main street was picture perfect. I visited the 8.700 habitants municipality on a late Saturday afternoon. Being in the wine growing area, Volkach teems with local wine bars.
