This photo was taken on holiday in Sicily. We stayed in Taormina a beautiful place, quite high up, with narrow, twisting roads providing stunning views at every turn. We had great views of Mount Etna from our hotel and each day I would try to get a better shot. Late one afternoon, we strolled down to the pool area, the mountain seemed almost close enough to touch. This is the photo I took that day. The umbrellas by the pool became the main subject, with Etna looming in the background.

Thank you Amar,
I think the reflections of the umbrellas in the swimming pool are pretty cool
Thank you. I got carried away with Etna and took lots of shots at different times of the day, but I like this one with the pool umbrellas it adds a bit extra.
This is beautiful. It would fit perfectly for tomorrow’s Sunday Stills challenge: reflections. : )
Ooh thank you, I’ve not heard of the Sunday Stills challenge before, sounds interesting
