We take catus pears seriously in Sicily. These were on sale at a fruit and vegetables store in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Italy. Although these originated in the New World, the ones grown in Sicily are truly exquisite.

Cactus pears

Although originally from the New World, cactus pears have become emblematic of  the Sicilian landscape. These are very early digital images with the Fuji S1-Pro, my first serious digital camera with which I shot jobs. I'm  still in awe of that incredible 3.4 mega pixels sensor who outputted  very saturated colors that reminded me of the old Kodachrome II slide film.
