A pochi chilometri da Castellammare del Golfo, in provincia di Trapani, in cima ad una collinetta che si affaccia su una verde vallata che finisce sul mare, si trova il piccolo e tranquillo borgo seicentesco di Scopello. Poche case abitate, una piazzetta lastricata, un abbeveratorio, un arco antico. La tonnara di Scopello è una delle più importanti e antiche di tutta la Sicilia; fu edificata non prima del XIII secolo e notevolmente ampliata dalla famiglia Sanclemente nel corso dei secoli XV e del XVI. Passò quindi alla Compagnia di Gesù e infine alla famiglia Florio. Sulle rocce sopra la tonnara sono visibili due torri, una del XIII secolo della quale rimangono solo le rovine facente parte del complesso della tonnara, e la seconda, del XV secolo, che fu progettata dall'ingegnere fiorentino Camillo Camilliani e che non ricade nel territorio di pertinenza della tonnara. Ai piedi del borgo, con i suoi splendidi faraglioni ed i ricchi fondali. Questa tonnara, oramai in disuso, è stata una delle prime a praticare la pesca del tonno in Sicilia, ancora prima dell'avvento dei romani. Secondo alcune fonti storiche nell'attuale tonnara sorgeva l'antica città di Cetaria, presente nel periodo greco-romano, che grazie alla sua posizione strategica poteva godere di un mare piuttosto abbondante di pesci. Purtroppo questa città è misteriosamente scomparsa, si pensa a causa delle incursioni degli arabi che la distrussero per ricostruire una loro tonnara. #panorami #sicilia #longexposures #cieli #acqua #mare #scogliera

Hello Claudio, a beautiful landscape with excellent colors that harmonize well.
If I can make a note (and I have to smile because your level is much higher than mine) I would have tried a slightly different pdr to try not to have the tips of the Faraglioni on the horizon line.

Peda thanks for the passage and your comment.
If I only saw what I did to reach the point where I took :-D
you could get to a lower terrace, with a terrible fence and behind a "beautiful" rocky wall steep and full of brushwood (brambles including :-/)... wall where I climbed quite a bit by finding a poor point from which to be able to bring out the Shot you see, at other points it was even worse.

:-D.. OK, not knowing the place I couldn't know the shutter conditions.
But I understand you, sometimes I go to sewer in similar situations and my girlfriend does not miss the opportunity to photograph me (maybe he wants me to notice how stupid I am :-D)

Peda then what is the beauty? If you do not infogni in terrible places, maybe steep, full of brambles with any animal being present?!? :-D
The important thing, in the end, I think it is able to bring home the shot... 8-)

What about, I'm finished I like it, really good, even if your territory naturally generates exceptional catches.
