The story behind this image

Perched at the tip of the cliff bordering Cala Santanyi on the south eastern tip of Mallorca, this watchtower was too good to pass by without a photo or two.

Normally I would consider photographing such a scene in the warm late evening sun, but in this cast the sharpness of the shadows from the ladder and bench made capturing the scene in the harsh light of midday more than worthwhile.

Careful camera placement was needed to exclude distracting stuff, leaving just the tower and bench to take centre stage.
