Last week we had some rain over here, cloudy weather and even a little bit of snow on the top of the mountains, across the sea. That was enough for our Mediterranean temperament, to make us fell like we had too much of winter!
It's a joke of course, it was hardly a sample of winter but what can I say, when it comes to sunshine, we are very spoiled here, in Greece. Three cloudy days can make us feel deeply depressed :)
So today that was sunny and warm again, I didn't miss the opportunity to go for a walk by the sea! Not my usual "by the sea" walk but a bit further away!
Have I mentioned that I love the sunlight during winter?
Well I'll say it again.
I LOVE THE SUNLIGHT DURING WINTER!
When the sun is moving low on the horizon and gives a very vivid relief on the landscapes. Plus that the air can be so clear as if it doesn't exist, especially after a rain! There is no way I could take beach pictures like that in the summer. Not even early in the morning. This is a winter thing and I love it!
The name of the beach is "Karathona". It is 4 km (about 2,5 miles) from the town of Naflio (where I live) but although it is so close I didn't came, not even once, during the summer. Not that there is something wrong with it, I just prefer a lot better the other beach of the town which is 500 meters (1.600 feet) from my place. And going for a swim on foot is a luxury that I can't part with :)
After the beach I continued on a path that follows the coastline. So apart from the wonderful views of the calm sea, I also had the local flora on my side lit by the same wonderful sunlight :)
And my shadow was sooo long! Like a thin giant :)
A random mud puddle would remind me that it was raining a while ago, in a day that looked and felt like spring!
As for photography, the wild vegetation turned out to be almost as interesting as the scenic seascapes!
On my way back to the car, I hanged the camera on my shoulder and I just enjoyed the view.
After all, what else could I ask for?
This is also my contribution to the #wednesdaywalk challenge, hosted by 
The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 6D mark II with an EF 24-105mm lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic .
All the pictures and the words are mine.
