Lachea Island

The Lachea Isle, composed mainly of basaltic rocks in several places topped by metamorphosed Pleistocene clays, is the largest of the Cyclops Islands, and it is of volcanic origin linked to the first submarine eruptions in the Gulf of Acitrezza, dating back some 500.000 years ago.

looking for food
or looking down testing the polarize and searching for a slice of reality that speaks of Beauty
Funny world.
He looked like saying to the the world:
“I have serious eyes problems, I am not young, but I won’t give. I still look for order and beauty”
A wonderful answer walking alongĀ that terrible slope…

Her?
Him?
Both?
Maybe both, or probably one of the two has just arrived
They sunbathe.
In October.
In Sicily
The sun is still warming the air quite well, you can stil use just a t-shirt.
It’s the 17th of October, the warm outside is lovely.
Only the cold wind you feel in shadowy places reminds you that winter is coming.
You keep on looking at that notice of a change.
You would avoid looking at it, but your eyes are staring.
You wonder if you sight is a little gloomy for something you hoped and didn’t happen,
or if it’s a little sad for something that you were scared of and happened.
While you are looking, a little voice breaks in your mind with a little laugh:
“Look at the way his hand is placed on the luggage”.
Everything change
Yep, his hand is not just resting,
looks like a lock,
for keeping under control the luggage.
A watchful rest,
a rest in a pubblic park.
You think “That’s exactly what I would do in the same situation…”

…and you smile.

“how I feel when I think about my future”

Ok.
I’m not this beautiful and this young but that’s not the point.
The point is that background.
That almost totally black background, that slope, all so not inviting.
A background in contrast with the foreground light, the today like where there is something.
Not much but still something.
This small facing that huge black area.
Only Hope, the light filtering through the leaves, a light coming from above
but still, the black, is there.
It’s Obvious.
I know.
Alas!
ok… all this probably is the side-effect of dealing a whole morning with university bureaucracy… they can take those 100euro extra, I gained a whole hour of “picture taking”.
That’s fact, indeed. Pitch black ahead, bright light now, a light that is about to leave.

There are so many problems and ugly “corners”, but that’s my hometown and it can still amaze me.

that’s what me or people on my left are probably looking at, just from an higher point of view.
It’s such a great show!

Picture taken on may 28th.
Sometimes a bit of patience and editing can help to show what you saw, in an unconscious way, when you had decided to take a picture.

In the last weeks I’ve been looking for a nice backpack where I can carry my cameras.
Often people tell me that I’m crazy because I live in Catania and it’s always dangerous to go in town with cameras.
They are right but I’d miss all those pictures that show up when I’m walking lost in thought.
