Is it me or does the smoke look like faces coming out of the fire. Probably nothing. Just thought it was notable.

That is what I saw a main face on top and multiple faces below the top face. I am shocked no one mentioned it until now. I have yet to see anything like this but it does seem interesting! I will keep reading this thread!

if I'm center and look NE around the 45 degree or 50 degree mark that would be where I am seeing the lights and pulsating sky which according to the map posted is the direction where Mount Etna is. it is hard to believe that is what I'm seeing since as people have noted its very far away, but I have no other explanation for what could produce this.

You say there were two dancing flames? I only see one... Maybe if you had moved the camera a little to the side and caught BOTH of them, then MAYBE we wouldn't have so many people saying its a volcano...
So, apparently you didn't tell the ENTIRE story... How do you suppose it looks when you clain there were two and you present a picture with ONLY ONE!? And no explanation, either. You couldve just told us there were two, and you ran to get your camera, but when you came back there was only one now, or at least something. But no, instead what we get is you telling us there were two, and then showing us a pic with only one.
Did the second one appear later, AFTER you took this photo??
I guess what I'm getting at here, is you need to explain about this second beam and why it is NOT showing up in your picture. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT to know if there were one or two!
What, were you just so drunk that you were seeing double?
I have to leave this thread now before my head explodes...

Sorry, but the distance between Collo and Mt. Etna is more than 750km!!! Over such a great distance you can't even see Mt Etna if our planet would be flat. Imagine that the surface of our planet is curved. The height difference over a distance at about 350km will be nearly 9km. Mt. Etna is more than double away.

Distance from Palermo to Algiers
Distance is 925 kilometers or 575 miles or 499 nautical miles
The distance is the theoretical air distance (great circle distance). Flying between the two locations' airports can be a different distance, depending on airport location and actual route chosen.
Columns of light apparently beaming directly upwards from unshielded (and wastefully polluting) lights are sometimes visible during very cold weather. Plate shaped ice crystals, normally only present in high clouds, float in the air close to the ground and their horizontal facets reflect light back downwards.
The pillars are not physically over the lights or anywhere else in space for that matter ~ like all halos they are purely the collected light beams from all the millions of crystals which just happen to be reflecting light towards your eyes or camera.
Artificial light pillars can be much taller than their natural counterparts because rays from the lights are not parallel and plate crystals with small tilts can still reflect them downwards. The crystals producing the pillars are roughly halfway between you and the lights.
When ice crystals float in the air around you, pillars (and other halos) can even be seen around streetlights a few metres away.
