Salt Lake

Salt Lake, Akrotiri, Cyprus.

In only a week which I had in Cyprus I only managed to get to the south coast and this salt lake on one occasion. I actually wanted to photograph the Flamingos which migrate here during the winter. Unfortunately the birds were out in the middle of the lake and there was no way either natural or man made to get close enough to photograph them.

The Lake was under a grey sky all day but I wanted to make a photographic record of it all the same, so ankle deep in wet sand I tryed to find some kind of a composition. Given the fact that it is so bleak and mostly looks like this around the edge it wasn't easy. This portrays my visit and the conditions I had all day whilst exploring the area.

I don't expect this to be very popular on here, it is not a sunset, long exposure or colourful image but it is as it was and I enjoyed it.....
