The story behind the image
A late summer trip to the island of Kos in Greece is attractive because the temperatures are not as hot as in July and August. Also, it is less busy and easy to spontaneously get tickets for attractive excursions.
One afternoon we decided to visit the vulcano of Nisiros, a small island next to Kos. On our way to the island the sunlight was making its way through dark clouds that hovered over the Mediterranean Sea, forming beautiful beams.
Little did we know that we would get soaked by heavy rain later that day. Still, the trip was worth every Penny, and I love this wide angle shot.
