Guido Valastro California Rental, Savoca Sicily, Orange Trees, In the Hills

Guido the manager gave me a key to the shop so that I could put my scooter indoors at night. It's close to the Hotel.  I said,"I'll tell my friends you trusted me with the keys.  All this equipment and cars."Guido, "You are an American. I trust you."   Paul, "I know what you mean"

 Vulcano Eatna has been erupting. I'll include a photo below.   These are pieces of ashes that landed in Taormina from an eruption 2 months ago.

It covered the town like a inch of snow only it was vulcanic ash.  No airplanes flew. It ruins the engines says Guido. 

 Me and my Chinese Vespa

In car rental shop after hours.  I park in here so it doesn't get stolen.  Guido's request.

The quality of light can make all the difference. I waited for the sun to  be partially obscured. See the soft edge of the shadow. Second level things can come alive sometimes. In full sun photos it can often look snap shot like. I've been lucky there have been clouds. This is up in the mountains. Savoca.

Deep in the hills.   Orange trees.  I see them being grown everywhere. The commercial growers often had plastic tubing and spray heads for watering.  The private growers not so much.
