Photographer’s Note
Etna is the biggest active volcano in Europe(3200mt)
according to mythology it was the home of Volcano (greek: Ηφαιστος,Ifestos) god of fire and husbunt of Venus (greek: Αφροδιτη, Afrodite. Empedocle the philosopher (490-430a.c.) jumped into etnas lava, in order to become imortal, i dont know if he made it but 2500 years after, people are still studing his didascalies! knowdays you can just have a nice italian espresso from a bar standing at the edge of this inactive crater and enjoy the beautiful panorama, without taking any risks!
the photo is taken from the top of another crater and the altitude here is about 1800-2000mt over the sea level.

Hi Stratos,
Good idea the B&W shot instead of the traditional colour shot: it gives more power to this particular landscape! Very interesting also your note!
Ciao

Καλημέρα Στράτο.
Άξιζε να ανέβεις εκεί πάνω για να μας δόσεις αυτήν την προοπτική.Η θέα πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα.
Ο φωτισμός αρκετά καλός, μομίζω θα ήθελε λίγο περισσότερη οξύτητα.
