Taormina-Theatre Greco,
On our trip to Italy/Sicilia we stayed in the beautifull old historical village "TAORMINA" , of course we liked to visit the OLD HISTORICAL Theatre GRECO, because we both made many, many photographs, its unable to publice them all, therefore I choose to collect them together into the 2 collages here-under. I am myself aware of the fact that you may like to see more(bigger photograps instaed of a collage), if so.... please let me know (and ask me, tell me please wich photo you want me to enlarge) and I will post the photo of your choice bigger.
(svp Doubleclick on each collage to enlarge!)

Wij maakten in TAORMINA samen ontelbaar/vele foto's teveel om allemaal te publiceren, dus ik heb ervoor gekozen om ze in onderstaande 2 collages samen te voegen, (ik weet dat is veel kleier dan ze per stuk publiceren) mocht je een foto uitvergroot willen zien, vraag het dan alsjeblieft(wel erbij vermelden welk/deel van de foto in de collage) ? Dan zal ik de foto van je keus uitvergroot opnieuw publiceren..(SVP DUBBELklik op elke collage dan vergroten ze uit!)
HISTORY of THEATRE GRECO
The Old historic theatre GRECO of Taormina (4 C's before Chr.) is laying in between rocks,the panorama's looking over "the ETNA" and The Ionic sea, (look at the background).The Theatre is Greek origin with a Roman construction. In older times the Arena was used for Gladiator-fights, now-a-days the Theatre is used for music- and art festivals in Taormina.

De HISTORIE van Theater GRECO
Het oude historische Theater GRECO van Taormina (4e eeuw voor Chr) is uit de rotsen gehouwen, en kijkt uit over de "Etna" en de Ionische zee.(Die zie je op de achtergrond) Het Theater zelf is van Griekse oorsprong met een Romeinse constructie, Vroeger werden er Gladiatoren gevechten gehouden, maar wordt het Theater gebruikt voor muziek- en Kunstfestivals in Taormina.

so much history to explore in certain parts of the world....:)
Hi from Sweden! Nice pictures of ruins there. Hope I also can visit that soon! Got to escape from this cold and dark swedish winter. hahaha! Have a nice day!
Beautiful photos! Looks like you had a very wonderful time exploring and having lots of fun.
Thanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog. The cranberry bog is not to far from my house. I’ve biked along the Kate Pace Way to Callander. Cranbery Road is the border line between the city of North Bay & the town of Callander.
I think a concert would be wasted on me at the Theatre Greco - I think I would be distracted by the AWESOME views!
Geweldig! Je bent weer heelhuids terug met een vracht nieuwe foto's en verhalen. We wachten af en zien ze wel verschijnen. :-)
wonderful gorgeous old buildings! Super captures!
Italy is a very beautiful country. No wonder everyone wants to go there!
My dog was bought from what we call "a back yard breeder". Something apparently went wrong because as you can see she is no German Shepherd! We got our money back and kept the dog and learned a lesson. She's a good dog.
Great collages of gorgeous Taormina, JoAnn.
How is IOS doing? She must've been very happy to have you back!
I like your photos. There are too many to pick just one from. I like them all.
I guess you have the same problem as I; too difficult to choose and you want to show them all... That's why I created my second blog where I put the original photos. Then people can do as they want, just check the "collages" on blog number one or go to blog number two to see the real photos in large version.
I read your tagging carefully and now I know almost everything about you. I hope to see you and your partner in Paris in November to get a confirmation about the hair colour and the rest and hopefully learn something more!
Beautiful photos. Looks like it was a marvelous trip.
Hi JoAnn:-) Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment! It's my bedtime (midnight) but I wanted to come say hello to you first:-) I would so love to go to Italy one day...I love the architecture there. Your pictures are very beautiful!! xox
It's wonderful that you had such a great trip to Italy. the photos are wonderful memories you'll have always.
Thanks for tagging me. Since I had already been tagged eight times, I won't burden anyone with additional facts. You can see the lengthy random list I posted on Oct. 19 at my blog.
Your lists are quite interesting--thanks for sharing!
Incredible that after all these years and the occasional earthquakes that there are remains to be seen. I wonder if our modern buildings will stand the test of time. I enjoyed reading your tags...you are certainly well travelled! And I LOVE your hair :o)

Joann, One question: how many photos did you make in Sicily???? I'm curious. It is wonderful to see pictures of the Greco theater! 2 years ago I was exactly at the same place, but did not manage to get in with a Bugaboo and a 6-month old baby and 30 degrees!!!!! I'll be for sure abck to Sicily as I really loved it there.
Thank you for your interest,
*Lezard,
well to answer your question "how many photo's ", I/we made, well only me... made around 500 photo's and besides me my hus-B. made also a good 100 photo's, thats easy to do with digital camera's(memory-cards).
Oooow lezard I also see you (not) walking indeed in a theatre,"with a Bugaboo and a 6-month old baby and 30 degrees"!!
No !!you better visit Sicily in March or Ocober , even than the weather was still 23 Celsius degrees, the rain was not bad, even refreshing.
So why did you asking?
Did you see not enough photo's yet? hahaha, well I thought that I might bore people to publice them all on my blog, therefore I choose to do so with collages....
Thanks for your interest:)
Greetings JoAnn:)
That would be amazing to see a performance in such a place. People have watched things there for 2500 years! Incredible.
