   Summary Author:  Barbara Pindo

   Shown above is  Pantanello Beach, on the central-eastern  coast
   of Sicily (Italy), as observed near high tide on February 23, 2021.
   This mostly sandy, horseshoe-shaped  beach has a steep drop-off just
   offshore, where currents need to be heeded.  Agave plants, common
   along the seaside here, help to stabilize the shoreline. Note the
   waxing,  gibbous Moon (at top).
