Living in Crete: High Seas Drama

I went for a walk the other day and thought I'd take my camera to see what I could see and try and implement some of the skills I had learned on my first day at my new photography seminar. My regular walk takes me and the dog along the sea front of Heraklion. When I saw the following scene I thought it would make a really artistic, dramatic picture. You know, 'oh, I bet nobody has ever thought of taking this picture before', in reality 150 tourists a day take the exact same picture and are, at this very moment, sucking the life from various friends and family explaining the setting and meaning. So, I took the pic and was all chuffed with myself. The seas splashing over the sea barrier, 'How dramatic!'.

Fast forward a couple of days and things are becoming a bit more 'wintery' shall we say. Same walk, same scene, the sea and my enthusiasm firmly put into perspective. Brilliant.
