Gulf of Fethiye

Dawn, looking from Kucuk Sarsala towards Gocek, on the north end of the Gulf of Fethiye, Turkey. Fethiye is on the south west coast of Turkey and very popular for sailing. Fethiye Marina can be seen here. The rising sun made the hills surrounding the bay a gentle shade of blue. I've always liked the shots of layers of hills and colours and here was my attempt. I think the silhouette of the tree gives it a oriental landscape feel as well, though the swing hanging off it doesn't help.

I think this was taken off the bow of our yacht but the sea, as you can see was very calm which But I still had to worry about the boat's motion when taking this photo. However, as the sun was quite bright I could push the shutter speed up and still have a decent aperture.
