Description

Hello Rendosians ! I'm back from my vacation and I wanted to share some pictures with you. The first one is a photo of the Etna volcano, located in the eastern part of Sicily. Etna is still an active volcano and the last eruptions were in 2001 and 2004. The most important eruption was in 1669. After several days of earthquakes, the volcano poured 1 billion m3 of lava. It destroyed partially Catania wich was located 17 kms (10 miles) from there. It was a real thrill to see this volcano ! I dedicate this picture to emmecielle (Maria Concetta) because she lives not far from the Etna volcano. ******************** Cara Maria, ti dedico questa imagine. Ero molto felice di andare in Sicilia e vedere il vulcano Etna. ho imparato tante cose sulla cultura siciliana ! Sicilia è proprio una bella isole e sei fortunata di vivere cui ! Bacci ******************** Thanks for the click and the comment ! hugs Virginie

Superbe photo, on y sent bien le soleil des régions méditerranéennes, je crois que j'entends les cigales!

Ah, enfin ! le voile est levé sur ta récente destination ;-) que j'imagine magnifique et chargée d'histoire. Ces volcans étaient déjà là dans la Rome antique, et encore tout juste hier soir, la télé (re)diffusait un reportage sur les dernières heures des habitants de Pompéï....Superbe photo, superbes vacances ! ´¨) ¸.-´¸.-´¨) ¸.-¨) (¸.-´ (¸.-.-´¯-.

Quoi ? Déjà de retour ? Mais j'imagine que tu as dû en profiter un maximum ; en tout cas, tu reviens avec une belle photo -et d'autres vont suivre ?- qui donne envie d'aller là-bas. C'est vraiment beau, lumineux, coloré...toute la Sicile, en somme. Tu remarqueras que je me suis retenu et que je n'ai pas dit "L'Etna, c'est moi !" Je pars demain pour quelques crapahuts dans les Hautes-Alpes.
