Sun, sea and coast #3

Photo of the sun over the coast of Montenegro

The story behind this image

Sailing away from the coast of Montenegro on the P&O liner Arcadia at the end of a wonderful day's visit.

To the west the sun is lowering in the sky, and the calm Mediterranean sea is reflecting a shimmering path of light, leading back to the stunning coastal mountains now silhouetted against the azure heavens.

As the ship moves south and the sun tracks along the coastal undulations I wait, camera in hand, until the sun is in just the right position before pressing the shutter for the final photo from this marvellouds part of the world.

What a stunning end to a day just crammed with beautiful sights.
