On the southern coast of Crimea, between Vesyoloye Bay and Novy Svet, there is an eco-trail offering many beautiful photo opportunities. I have visited this place ten times over the past three years, and each time I discover something new. This particular visit was challenging due to low water supplies and the intense heat. The sun was relentless, and with no wind to provide relief, I had to take frequent breaks in the shade of the mountain pines.
The ascent up the slope was demanding, requiring careful footing as small stones could slip underfoot. Luckily, I wore comfortable shoes with good tread. Although this route is referred to as a single track, it features various paths, both leading to the sea and climbing upward. Since I had never visited this area before, I decided to wait for the warm light just before sunset. After waiting for the perfect soft light, I captured a photo using a tripod, a remote control, a panoramic bar, and a 3-stop ND filter, but no polariser.
