Siracusa PageThis is page includes my photos of Siracusa Sicily.
As
it turns out the subject matter in this photo has quite a bit of
historical or mythical significance to the city Siracusa which is
located on the western coast of Sicily.
Papyrus plants in the Fountain of Arethusa in Siracusa
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arethusa_(mythology)I
had no idea about this story of a Greek goddess who turned into this
fountain. I simply thought it was a beautiful weed scene with a
golden light.
... I guess a lot of other people felt the same way or maybe they knew?
There were also some interesting shaped rocks which i'm sure have a lot of history...
like steps to heaven, or the underworld
...meanwhile at the farmer's market there were some healthy sized olives and garlic
... and beans
and a few non-stray dogs to photograph...
and of course the obligatory moonset from the bed and breakfast...
