    That is a stunning photo. I adore the optical illusion, in which the cove appears to be above the level of the ocean. I’d love to see this view first-hand. Bravo!

      Ooh that’s what’s going on, I thought this was a Faroe Island type thing.

    Nnnnnggg. The mostly-empty bowl area in the front of the picture - for some reason, when I saw that, my brain went back years ago, when I first learned that the Mediterranean used to be mostly empty and then the Strait of Gibraltar broke open and the entire Mediterranean flooded and filled up in a matter of months. For some reason, that mental image has always terrified me, the relentless water pouring in and chasing down everything in it’s path.

    And for some reason, that bowl-depression in the foreground brought that back to mind. Is s fantastic picture, and I won’t thank you for the returning nightmares :/

    As I said in that other group: Sea level is a Chinese hoax. There you see. Told you so.
