Sunrise, Rethymno Harbour, Crete, Greece
Taken during my week spent travelling around the gorgeous Greek island of Crete back in April 2019. I absolutely love the island and this was my third visit in twenty years.
Here's a glorious sunrise that I experienced down at the harbour at Rethymno and I had to quickly position the tripod as it was very difficult to predict where exactly the sun would rise but it all worked out in the end.

The Arch of Kamara, Geropotamos Beach, Crete, Greece
WOW, what a gorgeous sunset this was during my week spent on the stunning island of Crete back in April 2019. I somehow stumbled on this arch online while researching another location and I decided to head off an hour or so before sunset to capture it on camera.
I eventually found the makeshift car park (of sorts) and walked the fifteen-minute wander to the edge of the cliff which overlooks this stunning arch formation. Arriving early allowed me to set up in plenty of time and explore the area a little. I fired off some shots before the sunset before moving into my primo position to capture this viewpoint.
I couldn't believe that I was being treated to such wonderful light and conditions and the two clouds top left drifted into place perfectly to add a little interest but it was the rock beneath my feet that I was most entranced with. The curvature of the cliff edge was sublime and a coastal shooter's paradise. I was absolutely in my element and so pleased to have photographed this gorgeous scene.
Trying to find where I had parked my car in the dark was somewhat more challenging though as the terrain was undulating, making visual contact with the flashing indicators of my hired black Audi A3 (which I loved) very difficult indeed. I eventually found it despite my legs being ripped to shreds having navigated my way through sharp, pricky scrubland. I'd say the image was worth it though.

Abandoned Tanneries, Thalassino Ageri, Chania, Crete
On my third visit to Crete back in April 2019 (my first being 1999), I rented a nice little apartment only fifteen minutes from Chania and as such, this city (my favourite city in Crete) was an obvious choice to discover in more detail.
I had seen a couple of photos online of these rather wonderful abandoned factories by the ocean a brisk ten minute walk east of Chania itself. So I decided to capture the end of the day there while wandering around.
I love nothing better than sitting in one of the harbourside cafes drinking coffee in the sun on a warm day (under 25°c suits me fine) while people watching and seeing the boats bob up and down in the water.
I cannot wait to return to Crete again for it really is one of my favourite places in the world. The island is small enough to get around but has some spectacular scenery including the 8,000ft White Mountains. Perhaps I shall run a workshop there sometime.
