Verso la Riserva dello Zingaro, a photo from Trapani, Sicily

Photographer's Note

Rieserva naturale dello zingaro is the first natural reserve that has been set up in Sicily in May 1981.] it stretches along about 7 kilometers of unspoilt coastline of the Gulf of Castellammare and its mountain chain which is the setting of little bays and steep cliffs.
The Zingaro has a large variety and abundance of rare and endemic plants it also has a rich fauna. The existence of highly varied ecological niches gives a great diversity which is not easily found in others parts of the island. In the Zingaro at least 39 species of birds that nest and mate, mainly birds of prey, including the peregrine falcon, the windhover and the buzzard. The area has also a rich archaeological past, as in the spectacular Uzzo Grotto there was one of the first prehistoric settlements in Sicily.

Chiao Livia,

What a breath taking view in Zingaro. The mountain range, the conical peak in the distance underlying the magnificent cerulean blue sky. This is so very beautiful. I see you photographed it in early October.

Warm regards. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a New Year characterized by health and happiness.

Bonjour Livia,
j'aime beaucoup la gestion des lumières dans cette scène.
Lumières plutôt basses avec des couleurs bien vivantes.
Un très beau ciel pour un magnifique paysage presque en relief.
Regards.
Daniel.
