silhouettes and sunset

I mentioned the other day that the sunset at the salt pans in Trapani didn’t work out as well as we’d hoped, but then again – there’s not really anything wrong with a sunset that looks like this.
It’s the best sunset I’ve ever seen in Trapani, if you know what I mean.

market bread

When I imagine fresh bread, it always looks like this – with golden lighting on the loaves.

And now if you will excuse me, I need to go find a bakery…

oranges and two brooms

Citrus season is really a delightful time to visit Sicily. We had plenty of citrusy things and not a single one of us came down with scurvy.

fish market

Surprisingly, this is not the way anyone buys fish in west Texas – all our fish was definitely not swimming in the sea only a few hours prior to purchase.

This way looks a lot more like fish I’d want to eat.

lemon gelato

This woman and I crossed paths that day, each of us taking in the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova di Monreale. After that, she sat in the sun and had a lemon gelato, while a couple of little girls played.

Truly, this simple scene means as much to me as the magnificence of the cathedral.
