The time is evening, after a hot day the sun is almost disappeared behind the yachts sitting on anchorage in the small sea between the mainland and barrier islands of South Portugal's Ria Formosa. The rays of sun filtering through the V. formations of clouds in a dusky blue sky are turning them to unusual pinks and greys which in turn are reflected in the silky smooth water surrounding the yachts at rest, whose masts and outlines stand against the golden spread of the setting sun. The photograph was taken from a dinghy travelling from the City of Olhao to the island of Culatra. This area has stunning skyscapes and seascapes on many occasions. This being one of them.
Post Type: Photography
Mixed Media: None | This was taken by me with a Samsung Galaxy smart phone whilst journeying in a dinghy from the city of Olhao on the mainland Algarve, Portugal to Ilha da Culatra a small island on the Ria Formosa.
The light was special and objects were sharply outlined. The dinghy was moving at speed so I had to move the camera shot to match.
