Sophie's Leap
this is taken from a place called 'Sophie's Leap' with a Sigma 10-20mm; I dont know the history of how it got its name - but its a long way down for poor Sophie!
closer to the edge...
now, if you look along the beach and into the loveheart shaped bay, just below the kink in the track you can see an object on the beach.
This is that object taken from the top of the leap (above) with the Nikkon 70-300 vr

Wow, that's a very very impressive view. It looks so beautiful 
Would be interesting to find out the history of it. IT's gorgeous though, and you've captured it well.

Pepsi - go to Google Earth and paste in
Sophie's leap
lat=34.669725, lon=32.8460975585
It's on the cliffs near Episkopi looking towards the western side of the Akrotiri peninsula, Curium ruins are the next bay around the corner.

Nice work Jr - the first has a retro feel to it. Good range on that lens too!
