Riding near a Lake in Scotland and a Race in the Valley of the Temples of Agrigento

IMGP4640, a photo by fadgadgetguy on Flickr.

Wonderful lake in Scotland. I would like riding there. And... I have videos and photos from a race in Agrigento, Southern Sicily, near the Valley of the Temples and with much archaeology. I hope to publish my photos sooner or later on CMTravelAnd on Flickr.

Realmonte and the Ballycurrin Lighthouse. The Menlo Castle in Galway and the Castles in Sciacca, Racalmuto, Naro and Favara

Have you ever been to Galway in Ireland or in Realmonte, Favara and Racalmuto in Sicily - Italy? I have created a page, Galway - Ireland on CMTravelAnd on Pinterest, and I hope to create one about Realmonte sooner or later, starting, maybe, from the local lighthouse I see some nights about fifteen minutes far from it by car.

Maybe I will write about To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, the Isle of Skye and Hebrides. #CMBooks #CMEuTravelAnd #IsleOfSkye #Hebrides

Other pages would be about the Chiaramonte castles in Naro, Favara and Racalmuto, and the Castle of the Counts Luna in Sciacca, instead, but.. let's return to Galway and to the Ballycurrin Lighthouse and the Menlo Castle. I added a beautiful photo of the first one, by Mick Bourke, in my Pinterest profile and I would ask you if you know where Headford is, where there is this lighthouse.

Good luck to the Galway Early Music Festival in Ireland with medieval, Renaissance and baroque music + dance #MusicFestivals @gwy_earlymusic

The urn with Jesus Christ @ Good Friday in Porto Empedocle - a video. And Easter Sunday with the photos of Saint Paoloni, in Aragona

In South.... Please refer to the tags below!

The urn with Jesus Christ @ Good Friday in Port..., posted with vodpod

Sunday in Aragona. Easter celebrations in Aragona, in South Sicily, started in 1702 with a notarial deed by don Pietro Marzocchio who decided that risen Jesus Christ should meet his mother Mary on the streets of this town. And there are also two brotherhoods, one for Jesus and one for the Virgin Mary - the church of Rosary and the church of Carmelo.

Only in 1732 two big saints or Saint Paoloni: were introduced Saint Peter and Saint Paul. They were wooden statues of Spanish descent, high more than three metres or meters - maybe nine feets - and with clothes and ribbons. They were placed over the shoulders of the men of only familiies, Alongi and Attardo – Scifo – Lorenzano, by a sling.

Photo, photo and video.

A shell museum in Sicily, a photo and malacology

Malacology? Almost 5.000 shells in South Italy... Everything because of an idea of a woman, Vanna Rotolo Lombardo, and from some seas in the world and the sea of Porto Palo - please see the link to a map below. About 1.700 shells out of them are exposed in three rooms with the names of famous world malacologists.
