📍 Taormina, Sicily

Mt Etna from day until night 🌋 (Sicily East Coast Ep7) #italyvibes

The music is "A La Claire Fontaine", a French nursery rhyme that means "At the Clear Fountain".

I considered it for my Arethusa Spring short in Syracuse, but it had already had its match.

Then I recalled the line from Ash is the Purest White: "After high-temperature burning, isn’t volcanic ash the cleanest?"

I loved the subtle yet obvious connection so much that I paired this pure rhyme with the Mt. Etna volcano scene.

This is an episode from my Sicily trip. You can find my curated map/route here:
