Yet another wonderful sunrise greeted me in Rhodes.
I was staying in Kolimbia and decided to venture the short car ride to the harbour for sunrise one morning.
The harbour was fairly modern and not quite old and rustic like I had hoped for however it was still lovely in the warm clear morning light.
As I explored further I spotted this church perched elevated above the entrance of the harbour.
It was perfectly located for my preference to shoot into the sun for what I consider the most beautiful of natural lighting.
The blues of the doorway was stood in harmony with the Greek flag flying proudly in the sea breeze against an equally complimentary clear blue morning sky.
What is it about blues hues and Greece ? whatever it is it has become one of my favourite colours over the years.
This all contrasted beautifully with the warm sunrise and iconic bright stone walls of this small Greek Othordox Church.
It was a difficult and tight angle to shoot as I was lower than the church which is often not a good viewpoint.
I composed my image deciding to capture the scene in several parts and combine them later.
This enabled me to avoid using a wide angle lens and the distortion it would give looking up towards the church.
The church was locked but I did sit and watch the harbour start to wake and boats being readied for the day ahead.
