Photographer’s Note
A local sightseeing oddity here is Villa Comunale, sometimes called Parco Duca di Cesarò, Via Bagnoli Croce, off Corso Umberto I. One of the most beautiful little parks in all of Sicily, the gardens were the creation of Lady Florence Trevelyan in the late 19th century. This Scottish lady was "invited" to leave Britain after a well-publicized romance with the future king, Edward VII, son of Victoria. She built various amusements in the gardens, including a fanciful stone-and-brick pavilion that might have been conceived as a teahouse. The gardens are open daily 8:30am to 7pm (6pm in winter); admission is free.
Another flower-filled garden in Taormina is the Giardino Púbblico (Public Garden), Via Bagnoli Croce. It overlooks the sea, making it a choice spot for views. You can order drinks at a bar in the park. The garden is open from dawn until dusk.
Of this park that I speak, is wonderful views of Taormina and all the coast, I recommend its visit, but they habian to me this that a Spanish did, but after looking for and looking for information of this park is the unique thing that I knew is the previous thing, the truth that those houses that see of brick say that they are for the birds, associate another photo of the park of another one of the houses, is a park with tropical trees and many sources, precious without a doubt…
I hope you like it.

Hola Elena,
interesting scene (and the Workshop, too!); good composition which includes both the building on the left and the trees on the right, and they balance each other well. Very nice natural colours. Very pleasant scene for the eyes, it's so inviting - I'd like to take a walk about the park!
best wishes,
Elena

Hola Elena!
Magnifique cette scène de parc avec un superbe petit édifice dont j'aime beaucoup l'architecture et le petit pont juste à côté.
Les couleurs sont merveilleuses et la végétation des plus belles. Beau travail.
Cordiales salutations,

Ciao Elena,
una foto del giardino pubblico di Taormina.
Mi pare se non ricordo male che me ne avevi parlato.
Vedo che la resa è ottima. Poco più a destra c'è il cannone che ho fotografato e postato come prima foto di questa mia serie su Taormina Pubblic Garden.
Well done!
Francesco

Hola Elena,
Me gusta esta toma muy bien compuesta y con magnífica luz y colores. Al verla pensé que era otra perspectiva de una que puso Francesco, pero ya veo que el lugar es diferente.
Tiene pinta de ser un bonito jardín. Buen trabajo amiga.
Abrazos,
Charo

Hola Elena,
Es un rincón muy agradable y bonito y lo presentas muy bien. El encuadramiento es perfecto y el buen manejo de la luz hace olvidar como puede resultar difícil equilibrar el contraste del sol fuerte y de las sombras muy oscuras.
También me gusta el WS, pero ahí la luz/exposición no es tan buena (hay partes OE y UE y el cielo quedó completamente blanco) y la grada me aburre un poco.
Un abrazo, José.
