Heading to Palermo, Italy? Bring an air freshener!
This is not exactly a "photo of the day", but it is still an impressive destination photo, albeit a smelly one...
The garbage men in the Sicilian capital of Palermo are on strike - and the photo above shows the results of just one week of no garbage pickup. The situation is starting to look a lot like the mess in Naples last year.
Unfortunately for the residents of Palermo, the weather is nice and warm, so the stench is unbearable. And to make matters worse, the fire department is constantly busy putting out fires popping up in the massive piles of garbage.
Yuck.
