[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Akamas region is Cyprus’s last and least developed frontier – a region of spectacular, rugged scenery, sandy coves where turtles nest and dolphins occasionally frolic, clear water, seaside villages and hillsides covered with thick woodland where the last flocks of wild moufflon roam. If empty beaches are what you seek, the Akamas has them, and more: ancient Stone Age dwellings, remnants of Byzantine and Classical settlements and starkly beautiful sea cliffs on the westernmost extremity of the island.

Akamas (Greek: Ακάμας), is a promontory and cape at the northwest extremity of Cyprus, which Ptolemy described as a thickly wooded headland, divided into two summits rising towards the north.

Up until the year 2000, the peninsula was used by the British Army and Navy for military exercises and as a firing range. Under the 1960 Treaty of Establishment, the British army was allowed to use the Akamas for exercises for up to 70 days a year.

Hi Lucie, a fantastic colour in this sky which is captured with a little motion blurr to good effect. I can see the sea appears quite calm here. Well done.
