Impressive atpaula, gives a special atmosphere of Sicily.  I adore nr.  7.

#5, #7 and #10 are my favorites.  Great landscape and snap shots.  I always like the way you use (super-) wideangles!

Aguinaldo, very good series of one of my favourite places in the world.  Number 7 is an excellent image.  I was in the process of moving from London to Taormina in 1997 but wound up in Goa.  Don't ask  :) .  Is the Royal Berkshires' museum still there and the mini submarine?
Thanks for sharing
Tom

Thank you for the comments John, Akira and Tom.
Tom,
I have not visited any museum in this trip so far.
This is a lovely place to visit but I'm not so sure if it is good to live here.

Taormina was going to be a home and a business combined  :) .  I have quite a few good friends in the area of Taormina and Catania.  Sadly, a few have passed away since I've been living in India  :( .  Getting old is the pits!

I always love your PP, plus the location and subjects here are excellent.
3 and 5 grab my eyes with those amazing clouds

nice etching on #1. Great series. #10 a bit tame compared to the others, could become more punchy maybe ? cat sleeps in hell, so use it :)

This is a very nice series. I enjoyed viewing them all ... repeatedly.
