The Cyprus Rally 2010 was held on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 November.  As a spectacle to see in Cyprus, this is not to be missed.

To set the scene, think narrow, twisting dirt tracks through big mountains.  Think rough surfaces, think dust.  Think powerful cars being driven flat out.

As a photographer, watching this is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.

It was my birthday last week, so we took an afternoon off to head for the hills.

We went up through Aigos Fotios, cut across to the deserted village at Vretsia, and then down the track to the Roudia Bridge.

The bridge was very special.  Caught in the dappled sunlight of the trees, the light and shadow was great fun to play with.

Of course it had to get silly too, playing with some splashing water, 1/10th of a second and rear curtain flash.  I love abstract pictures!
