Tourists take "we-were-here" photos at a viewpoint along the road up Mount Etna. There are few small pieces of lava left on the other side of the low wall.

Volcanoes aren't just mountains that spew lava: they're entire ecosystems. This elderly fox is part of the ecosystem that includes tourists -- local bus drivers know where it will come out to get food by the side of road.

Living on the edge of the world

souvenirs of Taormina
An antique and objets d'art shop window on the Corso Umberto, Taormina, Sicily. The paintings are of the Greco-Roman Theatre that is one of the town's main tourist attractions for those who have had enough of the beach for a while.
