On the edge of the cliff
Yeah, this is it, that's the picture that I wanted to take for years!
The girl was yelling in a frantic way. She was genuinely thrilled and deliriously happy! So happy that she made me feel uncomfortable.
I was on the edge of a 200 meters cliff, my open camera bag, with all my prime lenses, was sloppily laid on a rock and an uncontrollable teenager was hopping behind my back!
Fortunately everything turned out well :)
I finished the shots I needed for a panorama picture, I closed my bag and I offered my spot to the overexcited girl.
After all, this is indeed the best spot to take a picture of Nafplio and everyone deserves a minute or two on the edge of the cliff :)

Of course I didn't limit myself to the one panorama that I wanted to shoot anyway, far from it!
Up there I feel like flying, like I am an eagle looking for my prey at the old fortress, at the beach, at the town's streets.
I see them all, I rule them all!
If you allow me to paraphrase a favourite movie :)
It is so peculiar to look all the places that I know so well, from above. Everything is familiar but at the same time different. Maybe I should make up my mind to start using that drone that I bought a few years ago. I don't know why I have been so procrastinating about using it but looking the town from up here opened my appetite for some more aerial adventures :)

The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 6D mark II with almost all my lenses!
EF 16-35mm f4L, EF 24-105mm f4L and my favourite oldie from the 80s, a black EF 80-200 f2.8L
I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic .
All the pictures and the words are mine.

Man!! This image is cool. The description of all that was happening at the point of taking it had so much emotion, I literally felt I was on the edge too.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it :)
Wow, the excited girl at the viewpoint perfectly illustrates the transformative power of a moment or a place. I don't know how to explain it, but I love seeing people happy in the face of nature's beauty.
(even though I understand that it might make you uncomfortable while you're taking the photo, haha)
It's so important to share these special places. It's beautiful, well done!
Thanks a lot, I am glad you appreciate it :)
I'm just going to say it again. Your photos, my friend.
It's a beautiful place for sure. But your capture it well! :D
Thank you Nicky!

Hope you and the family are having a great weekend!
It definitely looks amazing! In love with that turquoise blue! 💙
It is a wonderful spot indeed! Maybe in one of your future vacation with your family, you'll drive a bit souther and see it yourself :)
Hi @fotostef great post, fantastic pictures.
