I took this photo in Durres, Albania, just half an hour drive away from the capital city of Tirana. It was early summer, which explains the lack of crowds there. The focal point here is the tree, as it breaks the otherwise peaceful, if not dull, imagery and it provides for a place for the eye to rest. Another thing to remember is that horizons should never be sloping, but should almost always be horizontal. This photo is best enjoyed when having Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" playing in the background, while imagining an inadequately clothed Helena Christensen look-alike dancing around. Imagination, it's a good thing.
