 This green, colorful sidewalk is quite long. Almost 3.5 km, on a road crossing the biggest lagoon of Greece. I was there for the weekend and had the chance to get a lot of photos.

This one was taken just before sunrise. Right at the time when everything around you turns blue.
I got up early to get some photos of the sunrise and saw this picture when i turned back to see how far i was from the the hotel i was staying (the big building on the left). Didn't had much time to measure the scene so i turned to aperture priority and shoot wide open.

To tell you the truth, i never thought this would be the one to submit as i got a lot other photos of this road and sidewalk during the weekend. But this one, i think, has the most beautiful colors of all. So i pick this one.
(Boy it's so hard for me to imagine a square frame while using a 3:2 camera)

I believe the lagoon as well as the city of Messologi, right by the lagoon, is a photographer's absolute paradise.
Can't wait to go back there.

PP: Convert from RAW and crop using RawShooter.
