Subjects : Possible subjects of photographic interest are many and varied nature. Surely the landscapes: Agira has so remote origins that today it is difficult to define with precision the birth. Surely men of the past chose as their home Monte Teja, on which is Agira, because strategic point in the island's geography, "easy" to protect and also difficult to conquistare.Dalla top of the mountain, where the remains of the are Castle, on a clear day you can even see the sea. From a lookout tower (the tower of St. Nicholas), you can instead look out over a stunning landscape, with views of Lake Pozzillo, the countryside and the majesty of Etna in the background. In this regard, beautiful photos taken during eruptions from neighboring areas, as refocusing on Agira, Etna in the background become "giant" .For Agira is also the Natural Reserve "Vallone Court Plan", home educational tours and very characteristic for the fauna and flora present. The country is also very rich in churches and religious tradition: fù the city of San Filippo (also called D'Agira). The slopes on the side of Regalbuto is located (it is one of only three in Sicily) of the Canadian Cemetery died during the Second World War to liberate the country from German occupation. Because of the shape of the country, Agira was the site of a long and bloody battaglia.Infine, due to the multiple cultures that has had throughout history (Greeks, Arabs, Jews, Normans, etc.) architecture lends itself to Agira great photos of street (beautiful and equally famous is the Arab neighborhood of Rocks area).

Recommended equipment : Definitely help a tripod or at least a monopiede.La choice of lenses to have is dictated by the type of photography that you are oriented.

Best months : Basically there is a suitable period. For example if you want to photograph the lake, the countryside and the Etna as a backdrop surely in the winter months it is better because the volcano is almost completely white with snow. To photograph instead the campaign, the wheat fields, the various species of migratory birds and all that concerns the nature, well, you have to follow the cycle of the seasons, and choose the one you prefer!
