As a late autumn sun sets behind the towering red granite pinnacles and phantasmagoric rock formations of Les Calanques on Corsica's rugged west coast, a dramatic red shadow is cast over a craggy granite staircase leading to the ancient Genoese Tour de Porto. A classic Corsican vista. Took close to three months to catch the setting sun at this position under a clear sky. High-resolution Noritsu Koki QSS-31 digital slide scan, shot with an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic (SMC Pentax Zoom 45~125mm f/4).
