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.
@blackandpaper 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

The Baroque City of Dresden should be on everyone’s itineraries. The Saxony Capital offers splendid historical architecture.
Some throwback images from the famous Christmas Market in Nuremberg, Germany.
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.
Scenes from my staycation in the port city of Hamburg.
A revisit to Laboe, Germany. The Northern Baltic City is a destination for Kite Surfing.
The ancient ruins of Paestum Italy. The former Greek colony was founded in 600BC.
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.
A quick day trip to the Franconia town of Dettelbach. The hilly committee of 7.000 nestled in wine country dates back 1300 years. The Medieval aura is complete with a wall and guard towers, some converted to homes.
