Part three · The cable car and the sunset

It’s worth the cable car up the hill, and the restaurant up there is actually very good. This is probably one of my top three sunset spots in the world.

The first evening

The old town from above

The old town and the sea from the top

The sun going down over the islands

The sun at the water

The old town as the lights come on

The last light by the restaurant

Back up the next evening

The hills inland

The coast from the rocky hillside

The sun goes down

The sun over the islands

The sun lower over the coast

The sun in an orange sky

The sun over the bay

The sun touching the hills

People waiting on the rocks

Watching the sun go down

The sun meeting the hills

The last of the sun

The sun gone behind the island

After

The islands in the afterglow

The bay after the sun went down

The coast at dusk

The last color over the sea

The last morning

A stone house with a flag
