Celebration
At the end of the main feast, after the statue of the Madonna finally returns to the central church, there's a spectacular fireworks display. Because it takes place on the 21st of August, it also signals the end of the heavy tourist season. It's really something to see. To avoid the crowds, we invite friends and see it from our terrazza. Naturally and sadly I will have to miss it this year. What can I say. I can look at the pictures and fire up my memory.

I cordai di Siracusa
These cordai or rope makers were shot in Siracusa, Sicily in the famous cave known as Dionysius' Ear because of it's acoustic properties. The cave acts as a sound amplifier. Dionisius used it as a prison and he could hear what the prisoners were saying. These gentlemen were showing tourists the old way of making rope. This was way back in 1972 on my first visit to this fascinating city, one of Italy's most beautiful. Shot with the Leica M-4, a 35mm Summicron and good old Kodak Tri-X Pan.
