I took this photo from the seaside village of Paralia Vergas, near Kalamata, Greece. Beautiful golden memories of last Summer! Paralia Vergas is just a few KM from Kalamata and is one of the best spots in the area to relax and gaze at the sea and mountains. Especially at sunset! And here in this scene I love how peaceful and calm it is. And the boat makes it idyllic!
