I've put this one in the category daily life, as for 2 weeks this was mine. Sailing from bay to harbour to bay on crystal clear Turkish waters was fantastic and I just had to take a picture of this view as we entered Butterfly Valley. I like the haziness of the image which i think adds to the grandeur of the scenery.

This valley is just around the corner from Olu Deniz and it appears that it is a popular destination for backpackers and travellers on a budget as there were a few tents on the beach and many small wooden huts on stilts. As for butterflies, I saw one! :)

As for the photo, I think i would prefer to have the sail completely vertical but i cant help the boat moving on water!

Hi Russel

I love the inclusion of the Gullet foresail in this shot. I plumbed it up with "distort' and adjusted levels to remove apparant haze.

Have visited many of the same spots in Turkey and Thailand as you, an agree with many of your comments. Nice work.
