My last day in Corfu, a Greek island, we rented Quads for the day to ride around and explore the island. It was getting later in the day, close to the time we had to return the Quads, and I realized I wasn't quite sure how to get back to our hostel. I led us in the direction I thought might be the right way, but was pretty stressed out that we would get lost. After navigating our way through this tiny, twisted town, the road opened into this beautiful landscape. The sun was low in the sky, preparing for sunset and we had come to this long straight away, with nothing but open road and mountains in the background. I was filled with an immense freedom that immediately cured my stress. It was a moment of not caring how lost I was or when I was bound to return. The light was vivid and I was comforted by the warmth of the sun. The view was one I never wanted to abandon. I wish I could've taken a picture, but even if I had I wish I could've done it justice. The vast, open land and endless road perfectly mimicked the sense of freedom I was feeling at that moment. I would've used a small aperture in order to have a large depth of field, so that everything was in clear focus, from the grass and road in front of me to the mountains in the background. I would have taken the picture in color in order to use the bring the landscape to life with vivid color provided by the light of the sun at that time of day.
