The tiny Isle of Giraglia stands out at sea in front of the rocky coast of the northern tip of the Cap Corse near to Barcaggio in Corsica, France.
This wonderful part of the Corsica coast features countless spots like this, and it is easily accessible thanks to the "sentier du douaniers", a track that links the village of Centuri to Macinaggio via Barcaggio, a path used in the past by the custom officers who surveyed the many small bays of the area.
This picture was taken on a late afternoon of mid of September, and it's the result of 3 minutes of exposure achieved by using a strong neutral filter.
