(come from away: stop the world) It was august, very hot days here in Sicily. My boyfriend and I live in different cities, he was in my country to spend his holidays. We decided to go to “Isola Lunga”, a private island with salterns and abandoned industrial buildings. This island is located in the lagoon of Marsala (called “stagnone”) and its peculiarity is the pink water of the salterns, color given by a seaweed. To reach the island you can cross the sea by foot ‘cause the water level is very low. When we was leaving the island the sun had just set, we were walking through the stagnone and decided to stop and take some pictures, even if the water surrounded us. On the horizon we could admire the silhouettes of the Aegadian Islands (to which I am so attached 'cause I spent several holidays there with my family). My boyfriend and I, in the middle of the sea, wind through my hair, small waves traveling in our direction, Aegadian islands. It’s hard to describe and no picture can really explain how we felt, time stopped and my mind too, all my bad thoughts disappeared. With this photo we can always live that moment.
"Stagnone" of Marsala is a lagoon, or maybe is better call it salterns, were salt is extract from sea water. There are different islands, Mothia is one of the most famous. Where stagnone starts there's a point you can cross the sea by foot 'cause the water level is very low, and you arrive in "Isola Grande" (or Isola Lunga), a private island with salterns and abandoned industrial buildings. The peculiarity of these salterns is the pink water, color given maybe by a seaweed. Another beautiful attraction is the view of the Aegadian Islands, the sun sets behind these islands, an amazing spectaclewhile you walk through the stagnone.
