#'Italian #diver #EnzoMaiorca, while #diving in the #sea of #Syracuse, felt something hit him in the back. He turned around and saw a #dolphin.
He understood that he was not playing, but #expressing something.
The dolphin dived down and Enzo followed him.
At a depth of 12 meters, caught in a #net, was #another dolphin.
After managing to free him and his wife, when the two #dolphins surfaced, they emitted an almost human cry (this is how Maiorca described it). Dolphins can be held #underwater for up to 10 minutes and then drown. The captive dolphin was a #female about to give #birth.
The male surrounded her and stood in front of Enzo and touched his cheek (like a kiss), a gesture of gratitude. Enzo ended his speech with the words:
"Until man learns to respect and #communicate with the #animal #world, he will never be able to know his true role on this #earth."

Piazza Duomo By Night
Piazza Duomo in Ortygia, the old town of Syracuse, Sicily.
From left, Palazzo Vermexio (current town hall), the Cathedral (Duomo), and the Archbishop’s palace.
I do know that whoever it was to come up with the choice of lighting on Palazzo Vermexio will be suffering from tinnitus for the next few weeks at least ;-)

Fountain of Arethusa
aka Fonte Aretusa, is a freshwater spring in Ortygia, the old town of Syracuse, Sicily. Located mere meters from the island's western shore, it has been a dependable source of freshwater since the city's foundation by the ancient Greeks ca. 730 BCE.
For the mythological backstory, see my previous post.
Fountain of Diana
in Ortygia, the old town of Syracuse, Sicily.
Sculpted by Giulio Moschetti ca. 1906, the fountain depicts Diana (aka Artemis), goddess of the hunt, with her usual attributes - bow and quiver, and a crescent moon above her forehead. At her feet, the water nymph Arethusa, about to be transformed into a spring in order to escape the attentions of her suitor Alpheus, to Diana's right. Attentions unwanted since Arethusa had a vow of chastity to Diana.
The spring that Arethusa was transformed into is just a couple of hundred meters away, at the island's western shore just south of the marina.
