Wish I would have made more images from here earlier in the sunset. This here was during the blue hour and was quite dark already. Thought it came out ok, but wish I had more time to put the ISO down to 100. Here it was 800 I believe to shorten the shutter speed.
“Sea caves” or “Palatia”, as they are called , is a rocky formation in Ayia Napas cape Greco where caves are deep passages in the cliffs , created by the waves , and are mostly accessible from the sea. The geology of the sea caves is one of the determinant factors of Cavo Greco, which has been declared a protected area.
Some go as deep as 80 metres into the rock and at low tide during calm seas it is possible to walk or swim into many of them.
The sea surrounding the caves is crystal clear although rocky. Many people visit this stretch of coast around Cape Greco to snorkel or dive and local people often fish here during the early hours of the morning.
Sunsets are spectacular here but it did not happen during my visit. I also had to wipe the front filter every few minutes from sea spray in order to take a photo !! I will visit this place again , though , hopping for a better sky !

a single RAW (NEF) file , opened in camera raw , highlights lowered , shadows lifted , a darkening gradient added to the sky ( I really miss my 3 stop reverse ND grad that I broke some days ago) , passed to Photoshop , a dodge and burn layer was added to manually add a vignette and darken the sky a bit more.
Hradčany the Castle District, is the district of the city of Prague, Czech Republic, surrounding the Prague Castle.
The castle is said to be the biggest castle in the world at about 570 meters in length and an average of about 130 meters wide. Its history stretches back to the 9th century. St Vitus Cathedral is located in the castle area.
Most of the district consists of noble historical palaces. There are many other attractions for visitors: romantic nooks, peaceful places and beautiful lookouts.
Hradčany was an independent borough until 1784, when the four independent boroughs that had formerly constituted Prague were proclaimed a single city.
