The coastal towers constituted the defensive system, of sighting and of communication along the coastal strip of the whole island, at the time of the Kingdom of Sicily.
Most of the towers still existing were built on topological and design indications by the Florentine architect Camillo Camilliani, and are almost recognizable as a true design archetype. The Camilliani received the task of building the towers in 1583.
From a functional point of view the towers were divided into two main categories: the proper defense towers, which stood near the inhabited centers and were equipped with armed garrison. The watchtowers or watchtowers, smaller and arranged on the heights to watch many miles of sea. They all have an identical square-based structure, with a few simple internal divisions and a large cistern to collect rainwater.
Before reaching San Vito Lo Capo, on the Gulf of Castelluzzo-Macari, you can admire the Torre Isuliddra (pictured), recently restored.

Le torri costiere costituivano il sistema difensivo, di avvistamento e di comunicazione lungo la fascia costiera di tutta l’isola, al tempo del Regno di Sicilia.
La maggior parte delle torri ancora esistenti sono state costruite su indicazioni topologiche e progettuali dell’architetto fiorentino Camillo Camilliani, e sono riconoscibilissime quasi come un vero e proprio archetipo progettuale. Il Camilliani ricevette l’incarico di costruire le torri nel 1583.
Dal punto di vista funzionale le torri si distinguevano in due grandi categorie: le torri di difesa vere e proprie, che sorgevano vicino ai centri abitati ed erano provviste di guarnigione armata. Le torri di guardia o di avvistamento, più piccole e disposte sulle alture per sorvegliare molte miglia di mare. Hanno tutte una identica struttura a base quadrata, con pochi e semplici divisioni interne ed una capiente cisterna per raccogliere l’acqua piovana.
Prima di giungere a San Vito Lo Capo, sul Golfo di Castelluzzo-Macari, si può ammirare la Torre Isuliddra (in foto), recentemente restaurata.
Telegraph poles & wires are a feature of Iceland. Though doubtless on the decline as digital seems to replace everything eventually I looked for compositions to include them. Settlements are widely spaced so the olde fashioned telephone was the way to communicate, loud conical hailers where too effected by wind. The sky was a bonus & it's amazing how soon you accept them as ordinary.
Another in the Modern Communication series, where communication on the move shuts out everything happening in the real world.
Helios 44M-7 at F2 plus a 2x tele converter. I was asked what this "is". Just an image of course. But the thing I photographed is a piece of correspondence between two people. I compacted this and, then, put it in water for a while, then compacted it again and let it dry. The object is partly covered in aluminium foil.
When I visited the Arabs at Marbach in May, the foals still spent a lot of time close to their mothers. Now they are more independent and interact more with each other which is fun to watch. These two are truly best buddies and particularly entertaining. :)
There is another capture in the comments.
I am just wondering if they are texting each other versus talking ...
... most likely texting 'why is that guy with the long white lens taking our photo ;))'
Candid capture of the life on the busy sidewalk of Bar Harbor, Maine in among the shops. Lot's of shops ... kept Ms. Krach pretty happy too. I was able to take some candids of her too shopping, but I was told to delete them ;(
