Strophylia Reserve III

Strophylia Reserve III

Whenever we are in the vicinity we always visit Strophylia reserve. The reserve covers a pretty extended area, which in itself means there is always something new to discover, something interesting to shoot. Even the same spots look different under different weather conditions. During Easter 2010 we spent a whole day at the reserve. The temperature was mild, which made for a photographer's paradise.  The weather was unstable so we shot with different light levels (sunlight, clouds, rain showers) and as for the visibility it was simply perfect.
