Travel > Mount Etna in Black and White

At approximately 3.350 meters, Mount Etna is Europe's highest volcano, and one of the world's most active. To the ancient Greeks, who had Sicily as the capital of "Magna Graecia" fore some time, it was the realm of Vulcan, god of fire, and home of the famous one-eyed monster known as Cyclops. In 396 BC, an eruption of Etna is said to have thwarted the Carthaginians in their attempt to advance on Syracuse during the First Sicilian War. Its last eruption ocurred in september 2007, throwing lava at 600 meters in the sky! And with that black lunatic landscape in front of you, why not shoot with some black & white film?!
