For some reason the lighting on the bridge in this shot is really weird, although you can see some of it on Picture 7 as well.

Here's one of my color shots of the Rio-Antirro Bridge. I like the sky detail on this one.

This is the Rio-Antirro bridge, completed in 2004, and so therefore new to me on this trip. Since Rio and Patras are on the Peloponnese, which is not considered to be mainland Greece, this bridge supplements the ferries, although there have been other bridges in the past, including the one that I took when I visited the last time. It's also called the Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge, after the 19th-Century prime minister who originally proposed it.

We also had a quick coffee at this coffeehouse, which is one of several in Rio. I don't recall the name, though.

There are also a lot of details, both natural and otherwise, on the Rio beach, so sometimes just pointing your camera at the ground can give you something. I decided to compose this shot around that shellfish in the middle.

Looking in the other direction from the bridge, the scene is nicer, of course, with mountains that are far enough away so that you can't see the development on them.

While I was editing this shot in Gimp, I felt that while I had done a lot of high-saturation edits in the past two years, one more wouldn't hurt.

I also took a number of photos of the sunset itself, both with my cameraphone and with the Yashica. This was one of the best ones, taken with the Yashica. I've darkened this shot and raised the contrast, as well as raising the saturation by a factor (if I'm remembering correctly) of 25 by Gimp's measurements.

This was an edit of Picture 2, obviously. I'm hoping that this improved it somewhat, but I posted both just to see what all of you thought.

This was better than Picture 1, I thought, since I zoomed and angled it better.

As we continued down the coast of the U.S. towards New York, the lighting and the clouds, I thought, provided ideal opportunities for photography, even if my window was icing up a bit.
