The Volcano and the Sea.....

     Two of the main attractions here on the eastern end of Sicily are the Mt. Etna Volcano and the Ionian Sea.  We have views of both from The Lemon Tree, and can't resist taking photos from other vantage points.  It is fascinating to witness the dramatic changes in appearance of the Volcano and the Sea due to time of day, climate, and tides.  Here are photos of Mt. Etna, some with visible smoke from the cone.....

   

     And here are some photos of the Sea..... morning, mid-day, night, and with views of  Taormina, Giardini Naxos and boats.....

   

                                                         

                                                 

      Add the impossibly stunning view we have of Castelmola and Taormina, and you can see why we are so taken with the beauty of this place.....
