Founds Objects.4

Local residents – women, as the story goes – gather in the library here in Licata (on Sicily’s southern coast) to make these beautiful needlepoint decorations the adorn Licata’s already-lovely streets at certain festivals. Forget which saint’s festival these were for, but goodness, aren’t they lovely?!?

Mountains.104

The beautiful Sicilian countryside during an evening bus ride from Palermo down to Licata 1-1/2 weeks ago. I’m currently in a very different part of the world, again for work, and photos from here will appear at some point, one hopes… 🙂

From the Air.104

All from my December 4 flight A’dam – Doha en route to BD. As I recall, the sunset was over Iraq, and the city-lights shots below are at the top of the Persian Gulf, I remember thinking it was probably Kuwait City, but can’t be sure.

Islands.114

Last Friday, on the last Rome to Amsterdam leg of a long travel day, our pilot had said that we’d pass over Elba on our way north. So when I saw this interesting shape out my window, I got all excited. This, though, is another island in the Tuscan Archipelago – which, like, who knew? 🙂

Please meet the small and very appealing-looking island of Giannutri, dear readers.

Both above and below, you are seeing a piece of the Berlin Wall, next to one of the more than 750,00 or so bunkers built with Albanian state funds during the Hoxha administration. Ah, the things our governments do with our tax dollars…

Coasting.153

Though we’ve plenty of coastline here in NL, I don’t tend to get over to it often…and since I so rarely get to my deeply beloved CA coastline these days, I tend to overdo the images when I do get there, so … all of these were taken on the first day of this year in northernmost Sonoma County.
