Dear @zuerich !
Are you rich?
Are you rich enough to always travel to fancy places?
I envy you!😃
Dear @goldgrifin007,
yes, I am rich - as I have a great family and am healthy.
Concerning money, I have just enough to occasionally travel to fancy places 🙂. I usually choose rather affordable apartments when travelling, and walking through great cities is still free.
Wow das sieht ja echt toll aus! Klarer Rehive 👌
Sehr schöne Bilder! 😊
wow, really beautiful pics.
Enjoy that travel! Since covid is not a thing anymore traveling makes again fun.
Hallo @zuerich !
Vielen Dank für Deinen tollen Reisebericht über Palermo. Dadurch habe ich nun endlich einmal die Gelegenheit mich recht herzlich bei Dir für Deine Unterstützung (die Du mir zukommen lässt) zu bedanken. DANKESCHÖN @missagora
Danke für Deinen Kommentar, @missagora!
Und sehr gerne! Danke für deine Posts.
I congratulate you for those photos that were spectacular and thanks to you, through them I was able to know the Monumental Gate of Palermo with its architectural style: Mannerist, its cathedral with its different architectural styles. The statue of Charles V, Quattro Canti/Piazza Vigliena, Fontana Pretoria and other impressions of that city. Have a nice afternoon
Thanks for sharing about this travel; Palermo is very beautiful. I admire the classic architecture (should I say eclectic?) of the place. The mix of different architecture gave it a distinct appeal.
And you have a keen eye for details. Your photographic point-of-view is spot-on as well, the use of the leading lines is perfect. I hope to see more of your travels in the future.
I wish you happiness and good health for you and your family.

Is that a Date Palm? (the last photo) The fruits look delicious, makes me feel like picking some of them :D
