Romantic souls

That's not the first picture of the day but I like to start this post in a colourful way. Plus that I like this shot a lot!

This small ferry and many more of its kind used to be very important for the west part of Greece. You see there is a point that the mainland is cut in half by a narrow but very long gulf. You could either cross it in a few minutes with the ferry or drive for many hours to bypass it! Now there is a bridge to fill the gap but many people still prefer to take the boat. Either because it is cheaper or because they are romantic souls and enjoy a small cruise in the middle of their road trip :)

Above there is a picture of the bridge as I saw it from the land and below is a photograph of it from the space, taken by the Italian astronaut Ignazio Magnani! The advantage of an elevated point of view is beyond discussion in this case :)

But before we see more of the bridge let's take a look around. The location is obviously strategic so a medieval castle is in order. Actually there are two of them, one on each shore but I stayed on the one side of the gulf!

During the sunset I made a few pictures with the car. No I don't want to show off, this is not even my car. But Suzuki offered the vehicle for the trip and they had to take something in return! And the pics are not too bad either :)

And when the dusk come it was the time of the bridge. Long, impressive and well lit, it was the perfect subject to focus on, during this magical hour!
