As I turned off the coast road at Sea Caves to drive up the steep climb to Kathikas, I saw something. Stuff it - let's take 15 minutes to check it out.
What I saw was a bunch of trees in a little field surrounded by rocks. The raking sun made them look great. The finishing touch was the verdant new growth around them.
One thing that's weird about Cyprus is you get Autumn and Spring all at the same time. For plants that have made it through the hot summer, its Autumn. For plants that couldn't survive through the heat, it's Spring.
The result, the trees looked great against a clear blue sky. The bright green of the new growth and the vivid blue of the sky were almost unreal. The light in Cyprus for photography is quite amazing.
As always, 15 minutes became half an hour as I picked my way around the field. Yes the pictures were coming, but not quite. It was only when I got down and shot against the light I finally got what I wanted.
Check out the rest of the pictures at my album of Pegeia, Paphos District, Cyprus.
