Akamas Peninsula

A wild, undeveloped finger of land jutting into the Mediterranean, the Akamas is a true gem. It contains a network of nature trails and the Bath of Aphrodite. It is tentatively set-aside as a preservation area, but this status could be in danger.

It is currently a hot topic of debate with one side calling for National Park status and the other for development to bring more tourist money into the region.

Oh my goodness! This is such a beautiful photo! I hope you don't mind if I make this my desktop background, and add it to my favorites! The exposure is perfect! A very very good sense of nature in this one! Plus that beautiful sky! Oh what a beautiful moment in nature! I think this one deserves some kind of award! Wonderful lighting and waves look very nice too! Thanks very much for sharing! Cheers Josh Lewis.

Great land/sea/skyscape image Stephen.
Perfect square composition with perfect depth.
Love the way the bended coast line is leading the eye to the wonderful colors and clouds in the sky.
Excellent work with slow shutter speed to soften the water nicely.
Beautiful contrast, colors, tones, patterns and details.
Very well done. TFS!!!

A beautiful wide angle shot in great depth and fine detail Stephen, the obviously long exposure gave the water in motion a silky effect and those heavy clouds increased the dramatic impact of this fine composition. TFS indeed!

Hi Stepehn,
Great dramatic composition, with fantastic sharp details through all the photo. Rich colors also on the part of the cliff at the right side. The foreground doesn't look suited to walk barefoot...
Beautiful equilibrated ilumination.
