Autumn on Etna

November 7, 2007 by Nicole 15 Comments

Fall Colors with Lava Rocks

No time for a recipe today but wanted to share some photos from our drive up to the volcano last weekend. The fall colors were breathtaking against the backdrop of black lava rock on the south side of the mountain. But after driving around to the north side, we found some beautiful misty forests and for a moment it felt more like Oregon than Sicily.

    I'm going to sound so geeky, but that last picture looks like the "Dark Forest" from Harry Potter 1. Ha!

    That's beautiful. I love how the fall colors are boosted by the charred ground.

    Wow...those blackened tree trunks are really something! And then that mist in the air. I love the fall colors, but that last photo is especially evocative to me.

    stunning! i was in italy for 2wks this past summer but didn't go as far as naples... we ruled out sicily because it would have cut 2 days out of our trip simply to go down and come back on ferry/train.

    Jack: I think Northern Italy and Southern Italy really should be visited on separate occasions! There's just not enough time to see everything in one trip! I bet you had a wonderful time :-)
