Photographer’s Note
I spend the last day of my travel by the Italian island of Sicilia, in the village of Cefalú.
Cefalú is a typical small fishing Sicilian village sitting under a big craggy rock or promontory, at the seaside, on the North Sicilian coast, and is dominated by its beautiful Norman Cathedral.
There is a very good long beach to have a refreshing bath (like these houses do), in summer time, in the “Tirren Sea”, included in the Mediterranean Sea, in front of the occidental coast of Italy.
In the sunset, here, the sun falls into the sea, and the colours and the brightness gives a very romantic feeling to this nice village. One hour before this moment I did the shot. The faces of these fishermen's houses looks this beauty moment every day. How lucky they are!
After seeing the most important cities and historic monuments of Sicilia, you have to come here.
Soon I‘ll put a general view of all the village so you can see it fully.
Do you like it?

Pasé el último día de mi viaje por la isla Italiana de Sicilia, en el pueblo de Cefalú.
Cefalú es un pequeño pueblo de pescadores típico Siciliano sentado a los pies de una gran roca escarpada o promontorio, al lado del mar, en la costa norte de Sicilia, y es dominado por su bella catedral Normanda.
Tiene una playa larga muy bonita para tomar un refrescante baño (como hacen estas casas), en verano, en el mar “Tirreno”, incluido dentro del Mar Mediterráneo, delante de la costa occidental de Italia.
Cuando el sol se pone, aquí, el sol cae dentro del mar, y los colores y la claridad le dan un sentimiento muy romántico a este bonito pueblo. Una hora antes de este momento, hice la foto. Las caras de estas casas de pescadores ven este bonito momento cada día. Que suerte tienen!
Después de visitar las ciudades y monumentos más importantes de Sicilia, tienes que venir aquí.
Quizás pronto ponga una vista general de todo el pueblo, para que lo podáis ver entero.

Nice picture, Jaume. Good lightinig and colors. I like those houses almost on the sea. It seems to me that the horizon is a bit tilted and I'd crop a bit the lower part of photo to avoid those people. Did you eat at "Polipo Guercio" restaurant?

Très jolie photo bien colorée, bien cadrée, il y avait moyen toutefois de ne pas faire apparaitre les personnags en coupant lègérement la photo sur le bas .
Je trouve aussi les batiments un peu surexposés.

Beautiful catch, Jaume. i was been in this place years ago. It's really a great touristic place. Nothing to say about your picture: it's very good, sharp, well composed, with beautiful, warm colors. Just one point: the buildings are maybe a little overexposed.
