Hi @VincenzoPizzuto

Gorgeous photos! What camera are you currently using? I remember when I was in Tuscany passing through small villages, they all had a similar look with this stone everywhere. It was really beautiful.

Could you tell us more about this place? Do you live there or just traveling? Thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @VincenzoPizzuto

Great photo. Thank you very much for sharing with us. i Hope you don’t mind but here are some tips to improve your posts.

If you have a few photos that are from the same location, it is better to add them all into a single post as that would make it easier for the community to read your post and see all the wonderful photos on the same page!

In my opinion, a single photo posted with a title is okay but not what I would consider a quality post. I like to advice people to add more information; what is the photo about, where was it taken etc. A photo with a story/context is much better for the viewers/readers and it helps to understand what your photo is all about and why you’re posting it.

The pictures were really beautiful @DanniS

Ciao @VincenzoPizzuto ,

Bentornato su Connect e grazie per aver condiviso queste belle foto con noi! Pur essendo siciliano non ho mai visitato il castello di Caccamo e sto adesso leggendo cose molto interessanti sulla sua storia. Scopro uno dei castelli normanni piĂą grandi e meglio conservati di Sicilia, una vera meraviglia architettonica.

Se vuoi, puoi dare un’occhiata a questo interessante articolo che contiene utili consigli fotografici: How to take photos of architecture, è in italiano ma potrai tradurlo con il tasto di Google Translate presente su tutte le pagine.

Ti informo infine del fatto che ho rimosso il tag dell’italiano dal tuo post, maggiori info nell’articolo How do I find posts in my preferred language?

Hi. Very nice photo. Interesting place.

Can you write about this place?

Are you sure link to Google Map is ok?

I tried to see the castle, I think it’s a mistake.

I found the castle in a different location - Costello di Caccamo

I’d be happy to organize a photo tour with you :wink:

here is the exact location of the castle: https://goo.gl/maps/U4V2vSg3bMEksMyUA

the castle is located at the top of a staircase, about 400 steps, inside you will find a medieval museum with costumes, weapons, paintings, I hope soon to go back to take new photos and write a better post :wink:
