Very nice sunsets and silhouettes… I'm a bit shocked by the number of vessels in the first shot! My last visit was 8 years ago (spring) and never saw more than a couple of large boats (mostly traghetti).

Thanks, Francois, like so many lovely places it has become a popular tourist destination.  This is very seasonal, so in spring it would be a lot more empty.  I was there in late June, when tourism was a long way from its peak.  Apparently mid-July to end August are very busy there. 

The big issue is the weather, which is also seasonal - the islands are not named after the god of wind for no reason.  The glorious sunset in §1 was followed by a bumpy night on a somewhat exposed mooring.

We were hit by strong winds and heavy seas on every crossing we've made... Although I suffer from motion sickness, I never been sick in the Eolian islands!
