Photo Friday: Ischia Still Life

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Ischia Still Life

 

Last month I visited the island of Ischia for the first time. As the largest island in the Bay of Naples, one day is only enough to get a taste of the Isola Verde, or Green Island. Wandering around the town of Ischia Porto, this mural showing the distinctive Castello Aragonese and old-fashioned fishing boats caught my attention. The sunlight was harsh and yet the mural felt cool, the paint peeling off echoing the same red hue as the sun faded scooter. It is an image I’m happy to have brought home with me from a beautiful day on Ischia!

    Thanks, Andi!! 🙂

    Ciao Linda! Yes, I would highly recommend planning more than a day trip to Ischia. Capri makes a great day trip, but Ischia needs more time for sure.

    Ciao Saretta! I hope to go back soon and explore more of Ischia. We just zoomed past most of the seaside towns on the island, but each one looked like it would be lovely to explore.

    Ciao Anne! I could certainly spend a year exploring Italy! 🙂

    Ciao Pat! I was walking by quickly, but I'm glad I stopped and snapped this picture. It ended up being my favorite shot from the day on Ischia.

Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a hol Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a holiday for their national poet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Here’s one of my favorite poems he wrote.

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!

This morning—after four days of rainy and cloudy mornings—I watched sunrise over the Cilento coastline across the Gulf of Salerno. Late morning it started raining again and it hasn’t stopped. This little pocket of beauty was exhilarating!
